The “Don’t Mess With Texas”
program started 34 years ago. Since then, Texans and visitors have made
spectacular progress toward ending the sight of trash on highway rights of way.
Coming out of Mobile, Ala.,
Tuesday afternoon and headed for Texas, my wife and I were treated to sights
neither of us had seen in Texas since the late 1980s.
Along both sides of U.S.
Highway 45 were several miles of trash – beer and soft drink cans, fast food
containers, pieces of paper.
So accustomed are we to clean
highways, the sight of so much trash led us to believe Alabamans do not care
about litter, nor do they have any pride in their state.
