re: What is with Louisiana and littering?

It’s ridiculous. I live on a piece of land along a highway and constantly have to pick up garbage that these trashy MFs toss out their windows.

I live on beautiful and historic Bayou Terrebonne and it’s freakin nuts to see what people purposefully throw in the bayou. Latest example was my shrimper/crabber neighbors across the bayou. Son comes out to their shrimp boat and starts tossing full cold drinks in the bayou, then 15 minutes later the old man comes out throwing plastic garbage bags in the bayou. I can only imagine what they dump in open water.

Low IQ

Best decision my wife and I ever made was leaving that nasty state. We will forever be LSU Tigers buttttt we will never reside in that State again!!!!!!

There's a inverse relationship between a population's education and the level of litter.

The worst is the soiled diapers left in parking lots near or in food deserts

I’d agree, but it’s also a level of trashiness that is accepted.

A few years back, I spent a little over a week in Puerto Rico traveling from San Juan to Mayaguez, Ponce, and all points in between, and I can tell you that from for a supposed poorer and lower educated place that has it’s own legitimate gripes of being used by the Federal government, it was so much cleaner and well kept than Louisiana on a whole that it was remarkable really, and that said a lot to me. It undoubtedly has it’s own struggles that are not unlike those found in Louisiana like people moving away, lower paying jobs, higher substance abuse, etc, but I found the people to be extremely friendly and happier overall, their houses to be humble but clean and by in large well kept, and the roads to be much cleaner and in better condition. Even in San Juan, which reminded me a lot of New Orleans in architecture and slum areas, it was significantly in better shape outside of those slum areas.

Overall though, I found that island to be in much better shape than Louisiana on many fronts, and that said everything I needed to know really. Regardless, it was in no means worse than Louisiana, and that’s a fact.

Mardi Gras centers around throwing trash on the ground and expecting someone else to come in afterwards and pick it up.

Same can be said for LSU football games.

I’ve been to a lot of stadiums around the country. I’ve never seen a campus trashed as much as LSU after a home game. It’s embarrassing, and those are the more higher end people in the state.
