When Will We Learn?

They live out their lives with no concern for the earth, They mill about littering with carelessness and mirth. We would rather toss a bottle in a common trash bin, Than seek out the green containers that remind us our waste will be used again. We Americans have grown to be so utterly wasteful. I find this behavior sickening and distasteful. When will these behaviors change; when will they learn, That their pollution affects the earth, long after to it they have returned.
