Don’t trash Fresno, making it ugly

My husband and I recently spent five days in San Diego. We left our car in the hotel parking lot and explored the city using the metro transportation and our feet. What we enjoyed most was what wasn’t there. Absolutely no trash (not even a gum wrapper) and no graffiti! It was a pleasure to walk.

Too many Fresnans have no self-respect and no consideration for others. Why can’t we all use trash cans and save our paint and energy for the betterment of our city instead of making it ugly?
