I’m Not Your Mama!’

I’m Not Your Mama!” Sound famililar? Former First Lady Pat Fordice made the line famous in a series of TV commercials in an anti-litter campaign for Mississippi. So when did we decide we could trash our State? We have one of the most beautiful states in the Union, however, garbage, litter, and yes, even cigarette butts, are making our State unattactive. Every time I get behind a vehicle in traffic, with drivers and passengers, casually flicking out a cigarette butt(because that’s not really trash), I want to put my Pathfinder in park and remind them, “I’m not your Mama…don’t throw out your trash for others to pick up!”
We know better. Just do the right thing…and what if Madison County became the role model for the rest of the State as having zero litter. All the resources designated for garbage patrol to allocated for other uses in our County. And, for those that continue to throw out chicken boxes full of bones and half-eaten biscuits on Green Oak Lane….that’s garbage. Don’t do it!
