Throwing Things Out of Windows

I’m fortunate to come from a rural part of New Jersey about midway between Philadelphia and New York.  It’s easy enough to work or play in the city and nice to come home to quiet farmland—especially in the summer. Horse country is prime bike-riding territory, and it’s much nicer than inhaling the summer city stench.

Since I’ve become more aware of the single-use-disposable problem, I’ve begun noticing all of the trash along my route. Plastic bottles, soda cans, and fast food bags abound where turtles, grasshoppers, and butterflies ought to be. 

But what really gets my goat is that all of these items are single use disposables. No one throws a reusable water bottle out the window when they’ve quenched their thirst, and no one throws tableware out the window once dinner is over.
