What s up with the litter?

I walk a lot these days as retiring has given me the time and aging has given me the incentive. And when you walk you notice things. What I notice is litter and discarded things everywhere.  What s up with that?

The town municipal park where I walk most frequently is populated by ball fields and play grounds. Days after sporting events the grounds are littered with water bottles and food wrappers.  I did write a letter to town authorities suggesting that a field clean up be part of the responsibility of the adult coaches. I received a nice return letter stating they would follow up. That was last year. The grounds continue to be full of litter .  Where are the adults? Where are the parents who come to watch the games?  Maybe the parents and coaches litter too! This is what we have come to. I think I'll write another letter. And least for this small patch of earth I know who is responsible. But look around-litter is everywhere.   There are litter laws on the books! Another waste of paper and ink!
