Do you ever drive around and see something that just doesn
’t look right? Perhaps it is a collection of trash along the
road or a patch of weeks in a park. Unfortunately, the city’s
resources aren’t adequate to keep the city entirely litter free and
looking as nice as we would all like it to look. To help clean up
the town, we’ve begun holding a Cit
y Beautification Day once a year.

Eco-Facts of the Week: Fast food waste accounts for about one-third of all litter. A plastic jug will take one million years to decompose. People between the ages of 16 and 24 are the most likely age group to be litterers.
Eco-Web Page of the Week: The State of Missouri has put together a very interesting web site on litter at www.conservation.state.mo.us/nomoretrash/ .
