Letter to the Editor – Trash

240

Dear Editor,

Trash on our roadways has long been a huge pet peeve of mine. Thanks for publishing articles on the subject. I find it laughable that the counties want to attract cyclists to our area with such a distraction and disgrace prevalent in all of our ditches, street corners, fields and forests. It’s not a welcome sight for tourists or residents!

I only just recently learned that the state of Texas had similar issues decades ago. Back in the 80’s, their Department of Transportation initiated the “Don’t Mess with Texas” campaign. Huge success that continues to this day. I’m hopeful there are some creative SDG’ers who can conjure up a local version! Maybe a contest?

Signed, Anonymous (I really don’t need any trash backlash)
