When I was a boy I remember sitting in the back seat with my brother and sister and my mother was diving. The car in front of us opened the window and dropped a bag of trash out and continued on. My mom got out of the car, picked up the trash (it was a fast food bag filled with spent napkins, sandwich wrappers cups, etc and then followed the guy for a couple miles. When he stopped she got out of the car ran up to the window and jammed it back in the the drivers side window and shouted you dropped this you slob! and got back in our car and drove us home. I could not believe my eyes.
Littering is a crime and should be harshly penalized in my view.
RI DEM has made an effort to install line disposal boxes at popular fishing sites throughout the state. The one nearest me at Black Pt. has already been vandalized.
