   Litterbugs don’t care about collecting deposits on recyclables. California’s Bottle Bill (AB 2020), is a deposit-refund system that encourages recycling and reduces litter, covering a wide variety of beverage containers. Yet, every time I went hiking at Mill Creek in SoCal, I would haul out bags and bags of bottles and cans, along with every other imaginable type of litter, that people thoughtlessly strewed everywhere. On a few occasions I found cases worth of empty beer bottles piled up on the side of the creek, but I was unable to carry them all the way back to my car. I committed to cleaning the litter up on whatever stretch of the creek I’d walk. I went 2-3 times every week, yet the same stretches I’d clean up would have the same amount of litter as just a few days before. Talk about feeling like Sisyphus!

   Isn’t it ironic that she envisions violence against the uncle with whom she disagrees? She could try setting a boundary instead, or use the deaf ear approach.
