People make money at it, but I could make more money going to work. IYKWIM. If I had kids at home at the time, they would have had a job going to ball fields and picking up water bottles. For a while, water bottles were redeemable in Oregon, and it didn’t matter the source.

Whatever happened to all of those kids who were told to save the Erf, don’t pollute, and pick up trash? They grew up to be bigger slobs than the Boomers ever thought of being. To say nothing of the beans, they come and use the soccer fields where I police, and they bring candy, water, pop, and kids with clothing on. They leave everything but the kids. Right in the middle of the soccer field, they leave empty and full bottles of water, cig butts, candy wrappers, shoes and jackets. No mind the trash, but they don’t treasure clothing? BITD, mom would kick my butt until I returned the clothing my dad worked so hard to provide.
