Today I was walking from my room at 380 South Main St. to the Bristol Field house to play some squash, and decided to pick up any garbage I came across. I walked a different route back to 380, and I ended up with far more litter than I expected to find. On a 1.8 mile loop, I found the following:
- 3 pieces wet cardboard
- 3 pieces dry cardboard
- 2 plastic wrappers
- 1 plastic cup
- 1 styrofoam cup
- 1 paper coffee cup (full/frozen)
- 1 McDonalds large fry container
- 1 piece white paper
- 1 fake carnation
Needless to say, in the seemingly small and clean town of Geneva, there is still a fair amount of litter in and around the streets. While this sample is hardly comprehensive or complete - the route was random both there and back - it gives a good idea of how much littering still happens in this day and age.
