Put some money into clean up efforts and into enforcing laws against littering. Banning things is a police state tactic to solving problems and the nanny state is the next closest thing to a police state and so maybe we should do something to reverse the trend!

People are so complacent and some even seem grateful for laws that protect them and that force others to behave. Pretty soon we'll all be a bunch of mindless robots programmed to behave in accordance with the will of the almighty police state. It's just a matter of time.

The problem is that whatever happens in big cities usually finds its way into small towns eventually due to the influence of the huge number of people in big cities.
