After we moved to the Noank area by the 1980s, we met a dedicated, long-time member of the Groton Town Council who focused some energy on the subject of littering.
Woe betide the miscreants who casually tossed their coffee cups or sandwich wrappers out their car window as they drove along Route 1 if Councilor Edward Eckelmeyer was driving nearby. He would follow their car, pull up next to them and introduce himself. He would then politely but firmly request that they return to find and properly dispose of their discarded trash.
