While traveling this week, I noticed several large signs proclaiming the fees to be paid by those caught littering the freeways and interstates they drive on, and for a moment, my childhood came into my rear-view. I remembered riding in the car with my parents and periodically throwing trash out the window in an effort to keep the car clean; nothing big mind you, usually a used tissue or an empty soda can. But, enough to hold me in contempt with the harmony nature had established.
Do signs and fines deter those with little regard for nature's beauty? Probably not. They do, however, serve as a reminder that preserving the land we live on is our responsibility.
