Be honest, do you litter?

Question

And why do you do it? I can honestly say I NEVER litter. I am so good about it, and set such a consistent example, that my daughter actually picks up litter she finds and throws it away. I will hold onto whatever trash I have until I find a garbage can, and I teach my kids the same, so why can't other people? And laziness is not a good enough reason; we need to all work together to keep the earth clean. So do you litter? And if so, why do you think you have the right?

Answer 1

I never, ever litter. I do my utmost to leave no evidence in my path...

...It's extreme laziness to litter. Not to mention an utter disrespect for the environment that we're borrowing from our children and grandchildren.

Answer 2

I never litter. It's no problem to hold my garbage until I see a garbage can. If the garbage can be recycled I even wait till I pass a recycling can, because I want to recycle as much as possible.

I think more people should think about the environment and stop being so damn lazy and careless.

Amazingly, it's usually the people who litter who complain the most about garbage being all over the place. Makes sense, huh?

Answer 3

Being honest I do. But when I'm holding rubbish a long time looking for a litter and seems like there is any in the perimeter I get very upset.
There is not enough litters that is why many people throw rubbish on the floor

Answer 4

No, I also can say I have never littered either. I have also taught my daughter the same. IT IS A PET PEEVE OF MINE. We live in the country, and we will throw an apple core or pear core into the ditch. My daughter calls it feeding the birds. We participate in the clean ditch program in our township 3 times a year, and are aware of it all year.

Answer 5

I cannot stand litter. I put it in my pocket until I get home or throw it away when I get to a trash can.

PS. My friend's husband got a ticket for throwing out a cig butt from his car window. It cost him $750.00 and the ticket read, "Throwing of lighted, hazardous material from a moving object." If he ever wants to get a job that requires a back ground check try to explain that one to a prospective employer. LOL

Answer 6

not really, but I did toss trash over the mayors fence once..with good reason of course.. If your child wants to pick up litter she needs to use gloves or tongs hun.. there's some freaky deseases living in garbage..

Answer 7

I litter only when my boyfriend isn't looking. He hates littering and makes sure I throw my trash into a garbage can. What can I say, my parents didn't set as good of an example for me.

Answer 8

I never litter, and I bring it to peoples' attention who do. Last week I was shopping with my teen son and I'm afraid I really embarrassed him. As we were walking from one store to another outside, a man in a business suit was walking towards us after just having come from an office supply store. He was holding a shopping bag, and obviously another empty bag had stuck to it, through static, when the cashier gave him his purchase. So he just pulled the empty bag apart from his, and let it fall to the ground as he walked. I said, "Excuse me, I think you dropped something," and pointed to the bag. Kudos to him, he turned red, picked up the bag, walked back to the store and put it in the garbage bin outside. Score another one for me!

Answer 9

No. It has gotten me into a lot of arguments with cretins pretending to be civilized. The only time I actual had to was many moons ago whilst addicted to nicotine when live ash fell on my lap as I was smoking and driving, so it was either quickly out the window or burn my ..... Don't smoke now, though.

Answer 10

Very seldom. I can't stand when people litter, but I would be a hypocrite if I said I never do. It's rare though.
