Bernard, you live close to one of my favorite places. Growing up, I spent every summer at my family’s farm in Beecher Falls, Vermont–right on the Canadian/New Hampshire borders. Every night my parents would take a two mile stroll to a bridge across the Connecticut River–and take a litter bag with them. As they hit their 70’s my mom would carry a litter picker upper so she wouldn’t have to lean down so far as she reached into the brush for whatever. Thanks for reminding me of some very fun times!

Your success stories are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your ideas with the rest of us. Bette

Who amongst us would say they favor litter or would encourage people to litter? Yet litter persists. Vermont has a great focus on litter clean up on the first Saturday in May of each year whereby many folks participate in Vermont’s Green Up Day by voluntarily picking up litter in their neighborhood. Nevertheless, litter continues to accumulate all through the year on our streets, sidewalks, front yards, parks, and streams. We need more than Green Up Day and more than slogans to eradicate litter in our communities.

Nor will prevention efforts alone solve our litter problem. First, we need to be aware of the litter on our public greenbelt and on private and business properties. Second, we need to take ownership and responsibility by being part of the solutions. Success will require many ideas and actions to prevent litter, to cleanup existing litter, to raise awareness and activism, and grow a culture that is intolerant of litter.
Articles like this one contribute to awareness of the problem and promoting activism to address trash/litter.
