Dear Editor,
The person(s) who went out of their way to dump their trash on farmland have no regard for the beautiful place we live in or the fact food is grown there.
I can’t figure out how someone could think this act was acceptable.
Or how they could justify doing it?
No respect at all for others, the environment or our community.
I fear these people will instill those same selfish values into their kids.
This is the second time in the last few months that people have driven there and dumped their rubbish.
It is more than sad...it’s criminal!
The site is located on Gilbert Road, just south of Steveston Highway.
I walk my dog at the No. 3 Road dike daily. This morning, I cleaned up take-out garbage from the ground in the parking lot.
Two people I believe from the same vehicle threw their garbage out their windows from both sides of the vehicle.
How can young people believe that’s acceptable?
They specifically drove to that lot to enjoy the view and peace.
Then, as they left, they threw their garbage out their windows.
I don’t get it. And, there was a trash bin about 20 feet away. Self-absorbed jerks!
I’m sure they think they are above it, as they drove off in their expensive sports car.
I wish the local papers would get together with the city to put together a shaming campaign.
This isn’t about education. They should know better. They just don’t care. They are pathetic.
In the meantime...I will clean up their garbage.
