LETTER: Doggie do left for cleanup fairies

Dear Editor: Why is the largest source of litter on the North Shore trails poop bags? I think some dog owners are taking the term “compostable” a little too literally.

Dear Editor:

Why is the largest source of litter on the North Shore trails poop bags?

I think some dog owners are taking the term “compostable” a little too literally.

Why do you hang the offending stink sacks from the trees?

Will it be easier for the cleanup fairies to spy your waste for their magical cleanup day?

I spent 35 minutes cleaning up various blue and green poop bags on the equivalent of one city block of a forest trail last week.

Please take your dog’s poop bags home with you and quit littering our beautiful forests!

If you are a dog owner and have time this weekend, pitch in and do some spring cleaning on your own trail.
