What would our Arizona highways and roads look like if the efforts of our ADOT Adopt-A-Highway and Yavapai County Adopt-A-Road programs partnered in their efforts?

What if this was a Arizona-wide effort?

Would there be more “Blue” bags or “Orange” bags?

Could this be a “Orange” vs “Blue” sport? If so, we all win!

There are currently roads within Yavapai County that are available for adoption!!!

What is the Adopt-A-Road Program?

Arizona will never solve the littering problem they have without a team effort including ADOT, educators, parents, businesses and residents?

For those that use me as an excuse for not getting involved, that is lame reason!

ADOT doesn’t manage this program worth a hoot and they certainly don’t clean our highway medians … open your eyes and check them out and view what tourists and residents see.

If someone else wants to actually lead this effort with “words and actions” then please step up and make it happen, lead from the front!

The ADOT Adopt-A-Highway groups that actually keep their sections of highway clean are to be celebrated.

Then how about just trying to imagine what those highways would look like if the contents of the bags were dumped back onto the roads. Add a sudden wind to the mix. It would be a quick reminder of the slobs that carelessly created the problem in the first place, but then they don’t give a hoot.

It’s high time credit is given to those willing to do the grunt work and not the pigs who only know how to oink for more public money for themselves or attempt to claim undeserved credit.

Thanks KSB and Gary Chamberlain for the tenacity to never give up on the never-ending battle for a good cause.

Sincerely,
Eddie Maddock
