(08:28) CALIFORNIA – Caltrans has released a study that shows nearly half of all motorists admit to littering along the state’s roadways. According to the study, one in five motorists says they have intentionally dumped something on the side of the highway. An additional 6 percent of motorists admitted that they fail to pick up after their pets along the highway. The survey was conducted by Consumer Quest Research as part of Caltrans’s “Protect Every Drop” campaign, which is aiming to change the behavior of Californians in a way that leads to improved water quality. The purpose of the study was to measure drivers’ awareness and attitudes when it comes to maintaining clean highways for the purposes of clean waterways. (S.G.)
