By Lia Mack of BeGreenDesignsHave you looked outside lately? Take a walk around the block. Hike through the woods. Or just look at your own yard after a windy day. It's a mess. Plastic bags, ignored roadside newspapers, candy wrappers, water bottles and more. All just lying around cluttering up the landscape. On a recent hike I actually found a ceiling fan in the woods...A ceiling fan!?!? It is a sad absolute that when I take my children outside, they will see more trash laying around than other children playing and wildlife put together. Just as with violence on TV, the more they see it, the more immune they become to litter being a part of their world. If we don't do something about it, together as a family and a community, litter will become a permanent part of our great outdoors.
