Especially around the Eno River, people have been more careless to properly dispose their litter. Plastics and other disposables have been floating around the river, and getting stuck under rocks. These problems exist elsewhere too, in our forests and in our urban spaces.

I want to be proud of our county, and keeping it clean shows both unity and commitment to our image.

The longer we wait, the more filth will damage the beauty of Durham.

By signing this petition, you are supporting stricter penalties for littering.

Please also support us by cleaning up after yourself, and by properly discarding trash you see on the ground.
