John I commend anyone that picks up other people trash, I wasn't saying we shouldn't do it, Ive done it, my point was if we keep doing it people will keep leaving it.
Raising your children in the not to polute is a start, it just like everthing else we try to teach them not to lie, not to steal, not to cheat and so on. I don't think any of us here or our children are the problem.
As far as the reckless drivers not all are caught that's for sure just ask Lew, but the ones that are caught are made to pay. They pay for tickets and usually if it is multiple offenses they pay higher insurance premiums. Ask around to see how many people have paid for a speeding ticket then ask if any has payed a fine for littering. To me part of the problem is it is not enforced at all.
We don't need any special cops or CO's for this, the ones that are already employed could probably write all the tickets they want. Take this for an example ten years ago one could be fishing out of the boat on a summer day and endulge in a cold beer and even if he was checked as long as the person wasn't a problem there would be no problem, now just having beer (unopened) in a cooler in most boats will get you a ticket guaranteed. It was against the law then and it's against the law now, what made things change? People being stupid and abusing which led to people getting hurt and even killed.
Something they do here is take some people that are serving jail time and take them out on day outings and make them pick all the trash up from the roadside. This is not a solution but just like the rest of us that pick up other people trash it helps.
