The acts of littering one sees in a brief stop are incidental to the variety any manager can recount. Among young folks, a common habit is to sit on top of the trash container and without a thought throw empty cartons onto the driveway. Parents are often seen taking a complete meal into the car, distributing the purchases among individual family members and thert putting the empty paper sack on top of the auto, evidently hoping a strong breeze will locate it somewhere else (which it always does). At the close of the meal, the cups and plates are assembled in haphazard manner, some arriving at the trash can and the remainder falling along the way. With the discarded paper bag, all of it might have been disposed of neatly Here is a problem that will improve -- but only after it becomes worse.
