I am a citizen of Greenfield and I am writing about the littering problem happening in our community. When walking in the downtown area, one is welcomed by all the cozy small food spots and the bigger buildings like the new library. However, it is hard to avoid the fact that there is some type of trash at every corner. I was walking from the Greek restaurant El Greco to the library, and I noticed trash on the sidewalks. Even though there were a few trash cans installed on the sidewalks, I still saw plastic containers, napkins, paper bags and plastic silverware. The sight of this litter is unpleasant to both visitors and citizens. To fix this problem, I suggest that more trash cans be installed and that the city host biweekly or monthly community cleanups, similar to the yearly Green River Cleanup.
