Shame on you litterers!

Jul 09, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
I was again appalled at the disgusting condition of the parapet and environs of the National Stadium at Providence. It seems as though the patrons at the International Building Expo held over the last weekend, did not see it necessary to properly dispose of their garbage. I guess the area now looks more attractive when it is scattered with plastic bottles, food boxes and other debris.
This is definitely not a first time incident of this nature at these public places. For a few days after the regular shows are held at the Stadium, the area always resembles a dump to passersby. Apparently during the reveling, the litter becomes a natural part of the session.
At Guyexpo, which is held annually at the Sophia Exhibition site, the location is left in a filthy state when persons leave. Additional resources always have to be undertaken for a massive clean-up afterwards. The Seawalls, the National Park and other such places are an eyesore after any celebration or event is held. This trend is now a common and expected occurrence and it appears that the public is immune to this disturbingly nasty attitude of tossing trash around while walking or standing.
It is a disgraceful situation and a dirty habit. Everyone needs to take the initiative and stop littering. I am sure there are other ways to dispose of your garbage when you are not at home. Why scatter your surroundings with trash only to have someone else clean-up after you? Morals and values, regard for the environment and simple etiquette have seemingly disappeared from this society. Adults and teenagers need to show an example to young children because this cycle of garbage pile-up and improper waste disposal will only continue to occur.
Shame on you litterers!
P. Daniels
