Green for Oregon

Green for Oregon:

I love how the garbage is not very visible and Oregonians are conscientious of not littering. It is ingrained in our heads. Unfathomable to see garbage in or near water. Iowans seem to think water areas are places to dump their unwanted possessions: dressers, refrigerators, animal carcasses, beer boxes, etc. There is plenty of open fields and ditches for these items, yet there seems to be a magnet to dump in the water. Not less then a mile from our house a creek runs into town, and people love to pollute, by throwing objects off the bridge. Yet the creek is not strong enough to move their possessions, so that is the items final resting place. Water in Oregon is life sustaining for us humans and the wildlife we apperciate. Water is a destination of beauty.
