I hate litterbugs. Every time I take my dogs on a walk, there are new things I have to keep them away from. It varies from cigarettes and children’s underwear (sad but true) to lipstick and pizza boxes. Currently, there’s a little girl’s tricycle just sitting along the edge of the road. Its handlebars and one pedal are broken, so I don’t expect it will be going home anytime soon.

While some items, like the trike, have been purposely abandoned, most were thrown out car windows. Why can’t people clean their cars in their own driveways and use garbage cans?
