Dear Editor,

It’s finally spring, and all the beautiful flowers are blooming.

It’s sad to see wildflowers and redbud trees with pop cans, water bottles, fast food wrappers, and cups all around them.

Please do not mar the natural beauty of where we live by throwing your trash on the roadside. Consider putting a trash bag in your car, or use the fast food bags to take your trash home to dispose of properly. Please do not assume that someone else is going to clean up after you!

We make our world a better place with small acts of thoughtfulness.

Rita Larson
