re: Trash in Louisiana

any time any day there is trash all long the interstate and major roads in Louisiana...just the way it is I'm afraid.

would think with our number of unemployed people living off the government we would have an available workforce to tidy up our public areas.

I think japan does this with their unemployed.

They're not trashy like the average American though

The Trash in Louisiana are responsible for most of the trash in Louisiana

Coming soon to a community near you.

This is the result of generations of subsidizing nonproductive adults to have children.
Productive folks using birth control or abortion to kill productive offspring.
It will eventually destroy our civilization.

I saw a crew on the interstate picking up trash one Thursday

I think you figured the problem out. We need more people with DWIs. We could double the trash crew immediately.

To the OP, I don’t believe the study that most of the trash is blowing out of dumpsters or trash trucks. Just look at busy intersections and you will see all the fast food cups and soft drink/beer bottles and cans.
The solution is to constantly educate our youth about littering.

We moved out of the state when my son was 3 months old (now 8) but travel back often to visit family. He really enjoys hanging out with his cousins and is often sad to leave when we come home. I asked him if we rather we move back to Louisiana and his response was "It'd be cool to be by my cousins, but Louisiana is just so dirty".

Driving down Corporate Blvd a few weeks ago when a Dodge Charger suddenly stops in the middle of the road in front of me. Driver's side door opens, the driver throws a Taco Bell bag with two cups on the ground, and then drives off.

Headed to Acadian for the drag races.

It's people just not caring about anything or anyone.

When you are handed things and never have to work for it, you don't appreciate it.

It's the biggest contributor to our state's poor air and water quality too. A lot of liberals assume it's because of the state's energy and chemical industries but leaks and dumpings are actually pretty rare. I had a friend who work for the DEQ and he said that 90% of those issues come from people who litter and that ends up in municipal water and drainage systems.

littering is 100% the worst behavior a human being can show. If you cannot wait 5 minutes to find a trash can to throw the junk in your car away, you should be publicly humiliated

The main issue is dudes constantly putting cups, empty bottles, etc into their truck bed. They don’t seem to ever notice that the trash isn’t there anymore next time they look.
