People are lazy. Maybe a trash can in every cart?

People are funny.

My other house is in the foothills of east Tennessee, I think its one of the prettiest place on earth, that's why I settled there. I have lived in many other places in the US and this is by far the worst for litter. The locals (I'm sure some transplants too) dump trash in huge quantities, some dump it in their yard next to their house, some in roadside ditches and some in schools or businesses. For the life of me I can't figure out what the thinking is, everywhere you came from and everywhere you are going has a trash can. The garbage truck runs once a week. Every car has a cubby that can hold the trash until you get where you're going, just amazing.

There are 52 inoperable cars sitting in various yards in the last mile of the trip to my driveway from town. Some have been there long enough to rot into the ground, some stopped running in the past few months and I fear they will sit there and rot like the others are.

I understand that a banana peel or a cigar butt will biodegrade in short order but how about we let that happen in the designated spot rather than where everyone else has to look at it. It doesn't take much effort to keep things looking nice.

Some people are funny! Some are slobs.
You are right, it doesn't take much effort to keep things looking nice. But, some folks won't make any effort.

Took me back about six decades, remembering how much more common it was back then to see folks throw fast food trash out of their car windows. Now I'm wondering if I remembered wrong about Lady Bird Johnson and her effect on that issue. Was that limited to billboards?

Default Smokers

Don’t you wonder if the thoughtless smokers throw those nasty butts in their own lawns and streets?
They must have grown up with their mamas cleaning up their messes since they do t seem to care about the messes they leave behind. Those butts do not disintegrate or decompose.

I have been here for 4 years. I noticed the filters everywhere on the golf course. I bought an ashtray, and now pick them up and throw away at end of game. Never seen cigar butts, just cigarettes.
