“People shouldn't be throwing their empty bottles (or the caps) out on the side of the road. Don't they listen to Lady Bird Johnson? Besides, if people are throwing their beer bottles into the weeds, they're probably drinking and driving, and that's way worse than littering. Their wrecked car--or somebody else's--might be the next thing littering the roadside.”

For some reason I considered it my personal responsibility to pick up litter wherever I found it and yell at anyone I saw contributing to the problem (much to the horror of my mother). I was a ten-year-old on a mission to clean up the streets! But it was years later when I became a mother myself that concern for my kids' future really ignited my passion and set me on my course. Once I started reading and educating myself, there was no turning back.”

Later debris differs; things begin to be discarded which have caused the misuse or underuse of our time and talent.”

“It seemed more and more like something out of a children's book - the butterfly that followed the little girl all the way home to her fifth-floor walk-up. How above-the-law children's books are. Hansel and Gretel (littering, breaking and entering), Rumpelstiltskin (forced labor), Snow White (conspiracy to commit murder), Rapunzel (breach of contract).”
