✆ I am for little plastic bags being left around. By experience, everybody’s little dog pooped on my front lawn and on the strip of lawn outside my house because it was the only grass in this area. When I put on my own property a sack of plastic bags, everyone started cleaning up after their dog and I did-n’t have to. I used to get 10 to 20 poops a day, and now I occasionally get one. So, I think it’s a great idea. I don’t know about the tree thing. It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s on a tree or a pole, I think there should be plastic bags left out for dog owners.
