On August 19 the Friends of Beltzville State Park, a newly-formed group of which I am a charter member, are planning a litter cleanup on the trails on the north side of the lake.
I have two thoughts about this. One is that if we lived in a country in which people cared about the environment, we wouldn’t need a group to pick up litter. We wouldn’t have any.
The second is that if we had a state legislature that funded the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to its proper level, we wouldn’t be needing to form “Friends” groups to augment the park staff.
The relevant word here is “if.”
