Default It makes me so sad to hear of someone doing this.

Fortunately most people over 55 have been taught well about throwing things into waste cans. (MUCH better than the younger generations.) I believe that is why The Villages always looks so pristine. I find myself stooping and picking up trash when in a public place, if I ever see it, which is rare.

I don't think anyone can ever change a selfish person. I think you were so right to speak directly to this man at the time you saw him do it. I hope it gives him pause.

I think that we need to continually publicize that what goes into the storm sewers ends up in the ponds. They are OUR ponds even though we don't live in the view of one. When we take care of things the whole area becomes even more desirable to people. A good thing for all.
