She was picking up garbage as she walked as we were and she stopped and apologized to me for how her countrymen were treating the beach.

In the US, not so much in city districts because there is a camera on just about every street corner and police now liberally pass out litter tickets when they are walking their police beat. However, in rural US, litter all along back roads. A few years back, I watched a guy in a car in front of me on a rural road throw out his McDonald's bag trash; I stopped and picked it up and then continued on to my brother's house; the same car pulled into the driveway of a house before my destination; I stopped, handed him the bag, and said I think you lost something along the road! He did not seem embarrassed at all.

I see a few foreign business sections clean but not the neighborhoods. It is sad. Here is USA we too have litters scattered in poor neighborhoods...luckily we have street cleaners but the next day it's the same. People don't take pride in their community and their homes. My mom had a Hogan on the Navajo reservation but she kept the area clean of debris and she hated broken glass...she buried those in a deep pit.

The worst is when you see it all dumped at the "No Tire Basura" sign. :-(<br /><br />We have learnt from our travels though, that Mexico isn't the only country with this problem.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.com
