Bottled-up feelings about Tennessee trash
All righty, take a look at some of the photos featured on this website. Now take a walk around your neighborhood, or down any local thoroughfare. See that? It is so stupid to litter, but we (meaning, not me; and hopefully not you) leave piles of nasty trash everywhere.
I join 10,000 other monkeys in wanting something done, but I will have to think carefully before supporting the bill that is being proposed. Then again, I suppose any improvement to the current situation is welcome. The only place I can think of that has looked worse (besides third world countries) is the interstate leading into Las Vegas, Nevada from the east.
But does it take new regulation — and more dollars spent — to get us to clean up our act? Really? This is a beautiful state, y'all. I'm not from here, but I am proud to call it home. Let's all show a little pride and stop throwing our recyclables and garbage onto roadsides and into woodlands. Let's work to implement curbside recycling (or, for some of us, restore it). Let's avoid having "Kramer" and "Newman" trying to figure out how they can scam us. (Okay, that's a somewhat weak argument, but it's a memorable Seinfeld episode, you must admit.)

Recycle costs too much.
