This shit really bothers me. However, it’s hard to see how folks would have respect for their environment when they are fighting for their lives due to abject poverty caused by failed systems all around them. Sure all the vacant houses don’t help either. There is just so much that needs fixing.

The vast majority of people I see littering are people in cars. And not junky cars. I saw my co-worker do this in front of our school where we work. And I know he makes more than 90k and has a master's degree. The issue isn't poverty... it's people being raised not to care at all about other people. And yes, he is an awful teacher, too. Not everything is poverty. People have to have a sense of responsibility and a little bit of moral decency. The government can't provide that.

Nothing is everything but this is surely a piece of it. Don’t think can be denied. Also some people suck.
