Patrolling for road litter

For years, I have been picking up litter along roads where I live. But there seems to be more and more litter as time goes on. I believe there are 2 reasons for this. One, there are simply more people and traffic which increases the chance of more road litter being deposited along the road. And two, fewer young people are disciplined or educated as I was to keep our public accessible lands litter free. Many people have grown up thinking it is government's responibility to keep public lands litter free. I do not agree with that. It is government's responsibility to encourage and make it as easy as they can for you and me to take care of the problem. Most government bodies have accomplished that by establishing Adopt-A-Road programs and placing garbage cans in public areas. It is time for citizens to do their part!
