Show Shame on the litterbugs Dear Editor I am curious as to why the people in this beautiful state have such high disregard for that same beauty Of the seven states I have lived in the problem of littering seems to run most rampant in Utah I see an obvious lack of caring about paper plastic cups cigarette packages and the likes all over the sides of the roads I have followed many cars that pitch their trash out the windows with no regard for the mess they are causing Stiff fines seem to be no deterrent to those hell bent on getting rid of their refuse NOW What happened happened happened hap hap- to the Keep America Beautiful campaign Are we all too lazy to put a litter basket basket basket bas bas- ket in our cars or s simply hang onto our garbage until we reach a trash receptacle Have we thought about the consequences of dropping that gum wrapper in the store parking lot People must be paid to clean up after the litterer Paid by small businesses stores ana and yes even the government pays for cleanup along the streets and highways Ever think about where the money comes from to pay for this Straight out of our pockets in the form of taxes So give a care and think twice next time you are tempted to pitch your trash out your window or drop it where you unwrap it lets let's get back to keeping Am America rica CLEAN and Beautiful Signed Deanna Muffler I |
