North Carolina is a beautiful state, blessed with thousands of miles of great highways and roads to give people the chance to see this beautiful state. But sometimes it takes the selfish acts of some to ruin it for everyone else.
Look at the sides of the major interstates and you'll know what I mean. There is WAY too much litter and trash along N.C.'s roads.
But we can fight back.
The Department of Transportation offers three ways to "tattle" on those that litter. You can call the Swat-A-Litterbug hotline at -877-DOT-4YOU (1-877-368-4968); you can mail in a Swat-A-Litterbug card (you can obtain the cards by calling 1-800-331-5864); or you can go to this website and fill out an anonymous complaint. (Make sure you have the culprit's license plate number handy.) The litterer will receive a notice in the mail, and he or she will be encouraged not to litter in the future.
Oh, and as my friend Tommy likes to say: Cigarette butts ARE litter.
