I'm fortunate to live in an excellent part of Portland. NW Portland (the Alphabet District) is full of activity, well preserved historic buildings, large trees...not much for parking though. There is not much parking in the area because of the high density of people that live here. And with that high density comes litter. Yes, even the clean, beautiful cities of the Pacific Northwest, populated with tree huggers and hip lumberjacks, get littered. This morning Allie and I grabbed a few bags and helped the neighborhood association with their 3rd Saturday cleanup effort. Wrappers, bags, packaging of every kind and color. After an hour we had 2 large bags full of litter, some of which came straight off the front yard. That is as local as it gets.
