INTRODUCTION
Illegal littering and dumping, found frequently on or near transportation
paths, creates danger to public safety and health.
800+ Americans DIE EACH YEAR in vehicle collisions with un-removed
roadway debris. Over 200 of those total deaths occur inside the nine-state
Midwest Pac region alone. Michigan had the most of these deaths (32) in FY
2011, but Wisconsin and Kentucky tie for being the “highest chance” Midwest
Pac states “TO DIE” die from these crashes, same year.
Since 2008, The American State Litter Scorecard approximates each states
overall public spaces and environmental quality through tried-and-true,
hard-to-obtain measures, resulting in a total jurisdictional score.
Policy makers, public administrators and citizens are ever more involved in
effectuating “green” outcomes--satisfactory public spaces waste removals are
mandated in all 9 Midwest Pac and the other 41 states.
SYNOPSIS OF RESULTS
For 2014, Iowa has been deemed the overall top
BEST state in the Midwest Pac Region, with Missouri
a newcomer. They are now THE two foremost, tidiest
governments in America’s heartland.
Indiana led the bottom—the ultimate WORST, and
dirtiest—and a repeat offender! in the Midwest Pac,
followed by (also) repeat-offending Kentucky
(#1 national WORST in 2011 Scorecard).
Michigan is heartland America’s new anti-ecological
maverick, overtaking Illinois’ 2011-2013 bragging
rights, to now be the Midwest’s greatest inhabited,
public surface pollution regime!
