My favorite form of litter is plastic bags caught in trees.

There was a group of people I heard about on NPR once, they were making it their mission to come up with way to get them out of trees.

You have a favorite form of litter?   

I guess mine would be pairs of sneakers thrown over and dangling from telephone or electrical wires. 

I wonder whether they ever figured out how to get those bags down?

I took against those bags one day when I saw an open field across the road from a shopping center that was so full of those bags it looked like they were growing them there.

I like those too, there is a pair I have been watching for about 3 years now.

Well where I live here in Asheville litter can be an "art" form. Anything can be an art form here especially at this campus I work on. If you get up near the art building especially you will see things that look like trash, but no it is art. Right now they have all these little paper bags up there outside the building in the woods with sticks stuck through them. Some of the little bags even have pieces of trash "art" in them. And then if you go downtown it is no wonder what you might see, but remember it is "ART" pretty much anywhere you go around here. I live in a very strange place. Once they said it was on the corner or vortex or something of some alternate universe.

Anything started growing out of those sneakers yet?

That is an idea, plant so grass seed it them and throw them over the phone line......He He .  I have been waiting for this pair to rot enough to fall.

I have heard that too, but have not seen any evidence of it going on here.

Here, either. I never saw it, or heard of it, till I moved to Philadelphia, and one of our local newspaper columnists once described it as an "old custom," but he didn't say how old.

I've never heard that story before.   Interesting.
