No Not according to the Highway Research Board which in a special survey taken in 29 states has estimated that at least a cubic yard of litter is thrown each year on every mile of highway in the United States The situation is as old as the automobile and the disposable package It's so commonplace that the word “litter-bug- " is now included in most standard dictionaries and for public concern are worthless as wings on a Rleas NEA)-Massachu- setts ON THE ROAD & -- r 'I'"’ y license plate He was an insurance adjuster He had just finished eating a packed lunch drinking a soft drink and smoking a cigarette— the wrappers of which he tossed out on the grorjna Littering is environmental pollution at its ugliest And it may be man's most visible insult to himself Only slobs cause litter That is to say only people V His reason: “Well 1 don't know why Maybe I'm just lazy But anyway what harm does it do? I admit it's not good but it really doesn't hurt anybody” He’s right about being lazy But wrong from then on Allen Seed director of Keep America Beautiful says that litter is not only obnoxious it's expensive and dangerous Last year alone “nearly $1 billion was spent to clean up the nation's litter And some 130 people died in litter-cause- d According to Keep America Beautiful a private conservation group some people are more slobby than others Litter studies indicate that men are guiltier than women young are guiltier than old and surprisingly rural residents close to nature though they are are guiltier than urbanized citizens In a nation which annually discards 20 million tons of paper 28 billion bottles and 48 billion cans a lot of it— almost 16000 pieces per mile— wind up on the roadways fires” What harm does it do?

A good answer was given by way 2’s a man who stopped at Highroadside rest the same time I did He had a Maine then slammed into a tree We think he was blinded— by pieces of flying newspaper” What harm does it do? Says a Massachusetts physician: "Every summer I can expect dozens of people in here with cut feet from walking over littered glass I remember one young girl who stepped on an old oil can It was so severe that we had to cut away the front part at her foot’ What harm does it do? Says a Massachusetts resident along Highway 2: “Living close to the road is hell I can't even mow the front lawn without going over it first for funk I learned the hard way Once I mowed over a beer bottle— and it flew through my big window and almost hit my wife” What harm?
