What's With These Nasty Stupid Dipper Dumpers?

It baffles the mind!?!  And diapers are just the latest advancement in a growing trend… it's a pet peeve of mine as well!     I used to hope that even kids that weren't taught better would reach a level of responsible consciousness as adults and stop littering… but I have come to the sad realization that that is rarely the case.  I personally think that at this point it's something that should be taught in the school systems… a short course on litter awareness and responsibility. I worked for the school district for many years, and was amazed at the kids total disregard for littering… it's as if parents never even mentioned it, so I can only assure it's because the parents were that way as well.  For some reason, elementary school aged children pick up a lot of trash only to throw it back down again… so I implemented a "if you touch it it's yours" policy, that spread through the school, then moved on to rewards for trash collection during recess… and litter pick up field trips around local parks… my hope is that if they learned nothing else from their time with me… something of that will stick.
