Women, please pick up your trash. It makes all of us look bad.

As the Women's March marches on for a second day, breaking previously held records, women all across the planet are taking part in getting their voices heard in this democracy. From reproductive rights to demonstrating their distrust in the current administration, there is always something to march for in our unequal world.

However, once the marching has ceased and the sun has gone down the march turns from a beautiful show of democratic freedom to a representation of everything wrong with our wasteful society as bags of garbage, used signs and pink hats are being simply tossed to the curb instead of thrown out and recycled.

Not only does this delegitimize our words and our stance but it makes cities wary from hosting other large social initiatives. Ladies, when you're done with your bedazzled sign please dispose of it responsibly. Simply throwing it on the street isn't going to cut it.
