Be Part of the solution

Dear Editor,

I totally, completely, 100% agree with the excellent editorial in the Mountain Home Newspaper today. It irks me a great deal that people are so non-caring about their environment. I was walking down Canyon Creek one day recently and a guy threw out his disposable drink container, plastic spoon, and other debris--right in front of me. I also have five acres south of Mountain Home that some folks have thought was a nice place to dump their garbage. Grrr!!!

It is a good plan to have incarcerated folks clean up the debris. That is one step in the right direction. Maybe judges should not be dismissing so many charges, but fine them community service of picking of trash.

God bless America, land that I love, and God bless Idaho which I love. May we each and every one strive to keep them clean and beautiful. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem!
