Just Throw It Away!!!!!

Personal memory by Elizabeth Bowden

2015Everywhere Branch, Spring Creek, MO, USA

While going for a jog on the side of the road or even just going for a walk down the street, I notice all of the garbage scattered through the beautiful grass and in the gutters. It both annoys me and baffles me because of how simple it is to clean up after yourself. I, on occasion, probably have dropped paper or a wrapper on accident but never just because I was too lazy to find a trash can. It annoys me because after groups of people go out on their Saturday mornings to go pick this trash up, there's someone else on the other side throwing their Big Gulp into the grass. Nature is one of the most beautiful things in life we have been gifted and failing to appreciate it is the saddest affliction.
