My kids would know better than to try that biodegradable comeback with me because I would tell them they were lazy.

Every girl scout was taught to "leave a place cleaner than they found it" and I too love, love, love the clean streets and stretches of grass without litter. It was the number one thing that sold me on this place.

I remember each June that we are beginning to have a lot of young visitors because I begin to see the plastic bottles along the edges of the streets and wrappers too.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, my grandmother said. Nothing yet happened in my life to change my mind on that.

Things are changing with each generation but I like our ways here in The Villages.
I agree with not littering no matter what the material is. Your mentioning leaving a place cleaner than you found it jogs my memory... We were taught when you have compostable material but can't compost, bury it.

In any event, throwing it on the street is just not right.
