Visual pollution spurs cleanup drives nationwide
An editorial urges action against litter in South Florida and beyond, noting widespread "visual pollution" from paper, cans, bottles and junk. It cites NAS figures showing a typical mile of highway carries 1,304 litter items per month and national costs around 500 million dollars annually. The piece argues individual responsibility could end litter if everyone refrains and cleans up after themselves.
