Owen youth take pride while ‘litter-bugs’ don’t

Letter to the Editor

On May 16, we had the privilege to help in our county by picking up trash on Greenup Road. We had several of our youth help in the clean-up. They worked very hard and vowed not to ever throw trash out of their cars. It was quite a learning experience for each person who helped. Some questions that were asked were, “Where does all this trash come from?” and “Why do people throw trash out on the side of the road?” It is sad to say, but most of the trash is thrown out by people who do not realize the impact it has on our county.

God has blessed us with a beautiful county and we should not take it for granted. We should appreciate our county and try to keep it clean. We challenge every person in our county to take pride in it and think twice about throwing trash out your windows.
