CLEAN UP!
Why is it important to prevent
litter and safeguard beauty? Lit-
ter is not only a health and safety
menace, but is expensive to clean
up. Some $500 million in tax money
is spent each year to de-litter high-
ways, city streets, parks, beaches
and other public areas, according to
Keep America Beautiful, Inc.
Conversely, a clean well-kept
community generates citizen pride,
indicates stability and property
values hold up.
Then what can the average per-
son do about it? A great deal. In
fact, he is the only one who can
stop it because he is largely re-
Bponsible for it. Here are some
specific do's and don'ts: Keep a
neat litter-free home and back
yard. Teach your children not to
litter and most important of all set
a good example by not littering
yourself. A good example will rub
off on your children; also on your
neighbors.
Always carry a litterbag in your
car and be sure to use it. Encour-
age local youth groups to sponsor
anti-litter projects. Use your in-
fluence as a taxpayer and voter lo
make sure local anti-littering ordi-
nances are enforced.
Remember, only people are lit-
terbugs. And people's habits can be
changed.
