Parade Litter Takes Away

From The Event

To the Editor:

The Labor Day parade is a great event. Hopefully, it will always be a part of our lives, but it’s the days after that take the excitement down a peg.

Torn wrappers, empty bottles. Litter everywhere that never seems to go away.

Let’s encourage the Big Y, Caraluzzi’s, Stop & Shop, et al, to offer their plastic bags to everyone. Great advertising for sure.

Then, if one of the garbage collectors, anxious to promote their business, would place a container on every corner, we’d have it all!

If, of course,  Mom and Dad were there to explain to their children what the bags were all about.
