On Earth Day a couple colleagues and I cleared trash from several Lewiston streets, resulting in 13 bags of trash weighing over 250 pounds. There was a sense of accomplishment while doing something positive.
A couple weeks later, the same streets were filled with litter. It is a shame that our community can’t be kept clean.
I don’t expect a single letter will make a difference, but if all homeowners picked up any trash that lands on their lawn, and if the offenders could just place trash in receptacles, we could be proud of our city.
