GROSS: March For Our Lives Left A Lot Of Trash In Washington

Emily Zanotti

It’s a good thing for the March for Our Lives that they — at least in theory — limited their agenda to gun control, because if they’d have included “improved environmental stewardship” in their list of priorities, they’d look like a bunch of hypocrites.

While the March may have only had around 200,000 attendees, they left enough trash to leave bystanders convinced they numbered in the millions. Signs, half-empty coffee cups, and other assorted garbage was left strewn across the National Mall, as garbage cans overflowed, and marchers simply dropped their detritus wherever the felt like it.
