Little Piggies

This morning, as I walked my son to school, I was appalled to see many candy wrappers on lawns, sidewalks, etc. These kids seem to treat lawns and outdoor areas like garbage cans. I don't know if it's a function of the "me" generation. I know it can't be because little Dick or Jane didn't have a place to put the wrapper, as they were all carrying a candy bag. Would it be such a crime to put the wrapper into the candy bag for a ride home? These kids will eventually be inheriting the earth, and it appears that we've done a miserable job of preparing them to be caretakers of it.
