LETTER: Return to good, old days

Hurrah! We’re going back to the good, old days of brown paper bags!
In all the discussions about the destruction that plastics cause to the environment and animals (one of my most fervent concerns), why is there never any mention of the “elephant in the room,” namely, the careless and lazy Americans who litter and obviously have no sense of pride in the beauty of their country and are the root cause of this dilemma?
