         EVERY LITTE BIT HELPS!

    I had mixed emotions as I drove along
the rural road not far from my house
Saturday.
    There were large garbage bags, filled
to capacity, every 20 to 30 yards just off
the pavement.
     They had been filled earlier in the day
by volunteers taking part in one of the
many Earth Day clean up efforts scheduled
throughout the area.
      As great as it was to see the results of
their labor there was also the realization
that a whole lot of other people had
tossed all that trash out in the first place!
       And you've got to wonder why it's
such a big problem here and not in other
countries. We've been to Switzerland
twice and it's rare to see litter along any
of the highways there.
       I'd bet if you did find any it was
probably an American tourist who
tossed it!
       The future may tell a different story.
Kids today, the very young ones, seem a
lot more concerned about the environment
than those who grew before them. Between
them and the volunteers who filled all those
bags I think Earth Day can be considered
a success.
        Hope there comes a day when they'll
be no litter to pick up......and that all your
NEWS is good.
