“Shoe Limit” Sign Latest Attempt to Raise Awareness

This week’s new sign proposal submitted by yours truly at a recent city council meeting aims to help reduce the number of discarded shoes found on roadways across America. A recent independent study suggests that the Lost Sole phenomenon may have a negative impact on our environment, especially in higher single shoe laden areas. I’m not sure what the single shoe situation is in your city or town, but I have discovered “hot spots” here locally where shoes just seem to end up for whatever reason. Is this a new sport, fad or pastime that I am unaware of? I’m suspicious of a new organization in town called the SDOA (Shoe Ditchers of America) that meets every Wednesday at the Moose Lodge (free spaghetti dinner) and is behind our local single sole outbreak. Unless we can convince the major shoe manufacturers to consider making all shoes bio-degradable, mother earth will continue to suffer at the foot of foul, unwanted footwear.-J Snipes
