Litter

 
 
Litter just doesn’t appear—it is the result of careless attitudes and improper waste handling. Is there anything you can do? Knowing more about litter and where it comes from is a good place to start.

Research by Keep America Beautiful, Inc., has found that people litter because:

• They feel no sense of ownership, even though areas such as parks and beaches are public property.

• They believe someone else—a park maintenance or highway worker— will pick up after them.

Motorists and pedestrians are often blamed for litter. There are actually seven primary sources:

Household trash handling and its placement at the curb for collection.

Litter is blown about by wind and traffic or carried by water. It moves until trapped by a curb, building or fence. Once litter has accumulated, it invites people to thoughtlessly add more.

• Set an example for others, especially children, by NOT littering.

 
 
Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...

Household trash handling and its placement at the curb for collection.

• Ask marina operators if your Boy or Girl Scout troop or civic group can pass out litterbags to boaters. Public boat ramps also are good spots to give away litterbags.

If you own a business, check dumpsters daily to see that top and side doors are closed.
