Boozing on nips, littering on roads

November 07, 2017 11:00 pm • Last Updated: November 08, 2017 3:24 pm

Temple Emanu-El of Waterford recently had a clean-up day. I volunteered to pick up litter on Dayton Road. I just couldn't believe all the small "nip" bottles discarded there, especially Fireball cinnamon whiskey. There were at least 60-100! I know it's youth buying in nearby liquor stores, drinking on Dayton for a quick cheap high, then tossing.

Please, parents and grandparents, speak to the "20-somethings" in your life about littering!
