It's hard to be proud of something when it's dirty or covered in trash and the City of Shreveport is ready to take its trash and blight issue seriously.
Louisiana has been referred to as the dumping ground for the country, and that statement is accurate when it comes to litter in our waterways. A new effort to address litter and clean up our lakes, rivers, and roadways may help eliminate the problem.
Blight isn't just an eyesore, it's horrible for our communities and our state. That's why 'Love the Boot' week is so important to Shreveport and Louisiana as a whole.
Shouldn't kids have learned this concept at home? I forgot the politicians don't believe parents are capable of teaching our kids decent civic behavior.
Just for clarification, Louisiana is not the trashiest state because of the number of trailer parks per capita. We're talking literal trash, the kind that people throw out the windows of their cars. Like dirty diapers wadded up and tossed in the parking lot of Wal-Mart...
