Here's a pretty good representation of what Sherman/Denison Texas looks like. What do you see? A Skoal can, cigarette butts, an old Dr. Pepper cup, gum... But the biggest problem here seems to be old cigarettes. Do you ever notice people who are either driving or walking into a store or a restaurant throw down their lit cigarettes? Where do you think they believe that the butts will end up? Do they beleive it's organic material that will go back into mother earth? It will harmlessly desentigrate back into the atmosphere? Maybe they think that there are people assigned to doing nothing but cleaning up their nastiness on every sidewalk and street corner. What a bunch of idiots! This stuff is made of fiberglass. It takes something like 150 years for it to decay! I have to think that the class of people who participate in this littering don't think and don't really care about our enviornment. It really ticks me off.
