Garbage on the streets

Changing the daily walk I detoured this morning. Walking in the immediate neighborhood I am amazed at the garbage on the street. The list includes, no I am not joking...the usual bottles, cans including coke, sprite, rootbeer, beer, vita water, juice and various sport drink containers. Cigeratte butts, discarded cigeratte packages, pens, paper of every kind including entire fast food containers, bag, styrofoam, paper cups, etc. One will also see money, bottle caps, prophlatics, used of course, hair accessories of many kinds, hats, jackets, industrial cloths, medical shoe covers and the list goes on and on. Sounds like we live in a dump or at best a slum. Far from it, the houses range from low 200's to 550's and that's a guess. I'm not a real estate appraiser.

Picking up every piece of discarded nonsense would be a full days activities. Of course we could just teach children the value to not littering which is a novel idea I'm sure.
