being from the south, it seems like many southerners think the city and rural streets is their ashtray or garbage can.

and while i would never live in the pacific northwest, i have to say that the places i have visited, they at least appeared clean to the casual traveler. in baton rouge, this area (i10 by sigen (sp?) was horrific.

There’s a movement on reddit called #trashtag to get out there and clean. People take before and after pics of themselves doing it. Go pick up some stuff then post it on here and we’ll give you TD gold.

im hoping that by the time i move here permanently it will have been picked up.

but something tells me that trash that is piled up didn't there overnight or in a couple of days.

Ha! Reminds me of an article and interview written about Lou Holtz when he first took over the reigns at South Carolina. Paraphrasing… Lou commented .....South Carolinians must have some of the cleanest cars ( interior ) in the United Sates. All the trash is on the side of the road. The governor immediately enacted a roadside cleanup initiative.

props to him but that is disgusting - can't believe people would put that into their mouths and then into our environment for its disposal.

Hopefully SG will do better.
EBR Parish does little or nothing to clean roadways, etc.

I found Central Texas to be surprisingly bad, given the whole, “don’t mess with Texas,” campaign.
Lived in Montana for a number of years—pristine—but I guess that shouldn’t be a surprise given they have the same land size as Texas, but only about a tenth of he population.

shows how selfish and trashy smokers who throw out the butts on the streets are. Not all will do that but according to what i see, it's too many to count. And they wonder why people think they represent a trashy part of our population.

It’s also the quality of the people, not just quantity

The sad part is that we will continue to clean up behind trashy people

The fact that you’re calling out only one section of one city in Louisiana for litter is fricking laughable.

The town of marianna pa does it twice a year. Whole town goes out to your own assigned stretch of road and bags trash. The county comes pick up the bags wherever they get full.

It’s not a section. You could fill an auditorium with picture albums of litter on the ground from all over the entire greater BR region. Trouble is, people wouldn’t look. They just turn a blind eye to it all. Many don’t know what the big deal is. They’ve been brought up in it, and to them it’s just home.

Some smoker - either the paper guy, DPW maintenance man or mailman - throws a butt in my yard DAILY.
