<DIV><FONT size=3>Dear TownTalk readers,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>I'm very embarrassed and disgusted by our town's trash problem. I think that we, as residents, need to physically get out there and do something about it. A few years ago, I took it upon myself to start picking up trash on a regular basis - people/neighbors saw what I was doing - and it really made a difference. I admit, since I moved, my weekly ritual stopped, and I've made excuses rather than time for trash pick-up. We need to show our neighbors and our town that we care. I'm willing to make a weekly commitment to our town and collect a LARGE bag of trash/recycling each week. Are you? Even if you only make a monthly commitment, what a difference that would make! Lobby your neighbors: "many hands make light work." I know my solution
does not keep the "trashers" from "trashing" our community - but we <EM>need</EM> to start somewhere. The Police & Public Works can't solely be responsible for this one. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>I've read TownTalk for about eight months and from my point-of-view it seems that there is more complaining than acting. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3><EM>Be the change you wish to see in the world... -</EM> Gandhi</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3><EM></EM></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3><EM>Be</EM> the community you wish Riverdale Park to be.</FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Thanks for reading,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Lisa Allen</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Oliver Street</FONT></DIV>
