Why a State Litter Scorecard?
Consequences of Littering/Dumping Amongst States: Significant social costs.
--Governmental Neglect: Influences Why Persons Litter/Dump Public Properties
--Public Litter Prevention, Abatement: Mandated Function of American State Governance
--Good, Bad Economy: States Accomplish Typically “Piecemeal” Approaches to Litter Prevention
--Over 800 Americans Die Annually in Debris/Litter-attributed Motor Vehicle Accidents
Necessity of Litter Research for States:
--Numerous states lack efforts to collect, provide uniform litter abatement --outcome measures
--State policymakers, administrators, organizations, citizens interested in effectual outcomes

CONCLUSION
--Budget Shortfall Crisis Could Hamper State Short-term Litter Abatements.
--Some States Engaged in Historically Poor Removals During Good Economic Times
--Observation: Some States Performing Double-Standard Standard Abatement Practices
by Location: Appropriate litter removals on less populated, rural roadways but
seemingly none upon horrifically littered, urbanized public spaces (NJ, PA, NY, CT, MI)
--Littering Remains Danger to Public Health, Safety, Welfare
--Scorecard Not Definitive: Contributing Inquiry Into Poorly Probed Matter.
