By now everyone should have received a couple rounds of the new weekly Academy advertisements in the red bags.  If you haven’t, it is because it is still laying in your lawn or in the gutter where it washed down the street and into a drainage ditch.   This is the seen each week in most Waco area neighborhoods that I have passed through.   Most of us probably don’t shop at Academy that often (I go every 2 or 3 months), and those of us that go more often probably already know what we are going to buy without looking at their ad.   So if the goal is to save money by avoiding postage, why not go a step further and save even more money by not throwing that worthless piece of paper in my yard, or anyone’s yard.   Who’s gonna miss it? I won’t even go into the environmental impact of printing that much paper and then purposely throwing it on the ground where some of us will leave it until it turns yellow and brittle,  some will throw it away, and few of us will actually read it.   While  the city of  Waco would like for us to take our  trash cans away from the curb and preferably store them out of site,  it is apparently OK for local businesses to throw litter all across town.  I think I will leave my trash can by the curb with the lid open and that’s where they can deliver their advertisements.
