Our front stoop has two flower boxes on either side, and underneath the stoop we have our recycling and garbage cans – I’m sure this can be said for the majority of Center Square row houses in Albany, NY, right?
Let me back up for a second and say I am a neat freak – dust bunnies give me anxiety (Sam can attest to this, as I always have a Swiffer in my hand). Littering also makes my blood boil and my blood pressure rise – garbage just makes the earth look messy and cluttered. The pictures from last year’s Tulip fest may have given me a small heart attack (how one can go from beautifully displayed tulips to that mess is insane). We should all want our planet to be clean and beautiful, and I don’t think the rules are that hard to follow.
Well, the other day someone decided to discard their half eaten Friday’s dinner and a plastic Vitamin Water bottle in my flower box. I get that it’s winter and the boxes aren’t overflowing with pretty flowers, but if you had just walked your lazy tush to the other side of my stoop you would see that there was an empty garbage can and a beaten up, blue recycling bin under there for your convenience.
Honestly people – let’s get it together.
