Highway



I did not take these pictures myself, but I found them based on things that I saw driving back to school from Rochester this morning. I would have taken the pictures myself, but I drove by the items too fast and didn't have time. First, on 490E I drove by a mattress on the side of the road. Why would anyone want to just toss a mattress onto the highway? It doesn't make sense to me at all. Seeing this got me looking closer at the side of the road to see what other trash there was. There was a ton. It was every where. There were bags, papers, cans, bottles, fast food, everything you could think of. I really don't understand this. It's very simple to take a bag, put it in your backseat or somewhere in your car and put all your trash in there. There is no need to toss it out the window as your driving down the highway.
