Boy you're so right about that!!!!
I recall back then you'd throw garbage out your car window, paper cups and Popsicle sticks on the ground...I mean you wince now if you'd see someone doing this.
Remember, then the younger generation came up with the "Don't Be a Litter Bug."
By the mid-Seventies, there was “Give A Hoot, Don’t Pollute,” the Crying Indian, and “Make All America Sparkle City! Put Litter In Its Place!”
Actually Lady Bird Johnson started that whole don’t litter campaign. It was her thing. Highway beautification. Unfortunately I’m old enough to remember when people would drive out into the country and toss trash. It seems so unthinkable but it was what happened.
I was just telling my son about this today (he’s thirteen). Told him I remember when litter really was a problem and people did work together to fix it.
