I have noticed a lot of people blowing and sweeping their lawn clippings into the street too, but also a lot of leaves. I grew up seeing my grandfather sweep his clippings up because to sweep them into the streets meant they would blow and wash into the storm drains and clog those up, costing the city unnecessarily. Leaves would be even worse.
This winter, I noticed several people throwing ice and snow into the streets while shoveling their walks and driveways. I wondered if they realized that they were making the roadways more dangerous, wasting water for their lawns and over-using the sewer system all in one fell swoop.
I think we need some education in this town about how good citizens care for both their own and public property, above and beyond not just littering.
