Don't throw your trash on our Florida roads; take it home

This is directed to all those drivers who like to throw trash out of the windows of their cars:

Why do you do that? If you are from out of state, go home, we don't want you here. If you are from here, why do you do that?

We are lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful areas of Florida, and you are trashing the place where you live. We don't want to see what you ate or drank, so take your trash home and deposit it the proper way.

Hopefully you will read this and reconsider this the next time you want to throw out your trash onto our streets. And maybe one day you can say, when you see trash along the way, "Why do they do that?"
