Thomas Snyder: Litterers don’t care

On Dec. 26, to celebrate my wife’s birthday, we drove to Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach for a day of dining and shopping.

I agree with the writer of the Jan. 5 letter “Talking trash.” We remarked several times how filthy the roadsides were during our trip.

I doubt an entry to a landfill could have been more littered. Sad that it is such a black eye for our beautiful state.

Sadder still that inconsiderate two-legged pigs feel no regard for their neighbors and North Carolina.
