America the Beautiful?
America is a beautiful country, until you begin looking at the litter problems across the United States, “lack of respect and education is the key problem” said Shawn Downer of Pick Up America. People have no respect for the land, neighbors or themselves.
Pueblo, CO, June 26, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Everyday millions of Americans use the most convenient trash can they can find, the car window, they toss out cigarette butts, pop cans, you name it and they toss it out where ever they want. There is that parent that stops along the side of the road to change their child’s diaper and leaves it there. Then you have that cheap skate person that loads up there pick up full of trash, appliances, furniture and dumps in a abandoned or rural areas. Families that go to parks to enjoy a day out but have to fight their way through other peoples trash, lets not forget that disgusting trucker that tosses his urine filled jug out along the highways.
People do not realize the costs involved in cleaning the highways, nor the damage it causes to the environment. How their litter gets washed into the rivers and lakes contaminating them. People should see what I see, when I am out on a cleaning project. Items such as diapers in the river, condoms in parks, cigarette butts by the millions.
Pick up America is hosting the First Annual Pick up America Day; together with Governor’s across the Untied States they have declared this a National event.
They are asking all American’s to join them on August 1st to go out and pick up a bag of trash from their community.
Pick up America is not stopping with litter, they are also moving into communities to clean up abandoned homes. They will be remodeling homes and donating them to families in need. This will eliminate dangerous homes in communities, said Shawn. Homes that can not be remodeled will be removed to make room for new homes or community gardens.
