I enjoyed reading your column Friday! Not o...Bert,<br /><br />I enjoyed reading your column Friday! Not only was in very entertaining but incredibly accurate in the portrayal of human behavior. My husband and I are David and Donna Somebody picking up trash on our walks in the Eva Maude neighborhood for almost 30 years as well as in any parking lot in which we find ourselves. I spent my 30 year career in public education and included an annual unit on environmental issues. I told students "if you don't want to drink it, don't throw it on the ground" as everything eventually ends up in our water supply. I, too, am tired of other people trashing this blue marble we all call home. My neighborhood is not your trash can. Thank you again for writing the column and introducing me to a fellow comrade in the fight against litter. We will continue taking elephant bites until it's all gone.<br /><br />Kindest regards,<br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-75706524188792175062016-08-27T04:47:16.137-05:002016-08-27T04:47:16.137-05:00Sorry I didn't get to comment on your column i...Sorry I didn't get to comment on your column in The Baytown Sun this morning, Bert. It was very good. I was on the way to work this morning, right after reading it and saw a guy, not once but twice, throw paper, then a drink cup out of the window. It made me so mad! Somebody has to pick that up! That is just flat not caring! Don't get me started! Good message, brother!

Three Cheers for Bert! And...EA: You Go, Bert!!!!!! Three Cheers for Bert! And, most importantly, <br /> Thank You!!!!!<br /> <br />I hope your article is read and absorbed by every litterer! Some think their one little piece of trash won't count in the overall big picture, and some just don't give a flip - as long as their trash is out of their way!<br /> <br />I, along with you and others, also pick up trash as I enter businesses. Things are better. Joe V's and Walmart used to have horrible amounts of trash. Both have added more trash cans in their parking lots. Trash is most other Baytown areas is improved, but their is still more to do.<br /> <br />Thank you for your article. Everything in it is absolute truth, including the fact that the nice guys will always have to clean up after the nasty guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304841.post-72788325440256914292016-08-26T11:29:08.236-05:002016-08-26T11:29:08.236-05:00Bert Marshall, the litter also bothers me, as part... <br />Bert Marshall, the litter also bothers me, as part of my campaign to remain OCD fit. So when I walk I also must pick up all litter that others toss out the windows in their haste to get where ever is so important for them, that they don't have time to properly dispose of their own trash. If I ever had a super power, it would be to stuff the trash that people throw out back into their pocket.....lol Great article and thanks for all you do to keep Baytown Tourism looking better.
