Real :3 I don't understand people who litter

WRT the image and not the text - don’t do that. Goods are replaceable, humans are not

Sometimes, I put other people's trash in my pocket until I find a trashcan

Littering is fucking gross and people who pick up trash are heroes but let's also consider how much of that trash generation was ever necessary or even convenient in the first place. If your consumable product has two or three layers of wrapping, or even one if that layer is of marginal utility, then maybe we should be rethinking our use of those things until the people who are manufacturing them are convinced to the same degree. I think that if something's packaging can possibly be fully recyclable for a typical municipality (I say typical municipality because a lot of "recyclables" are only such if you have expensive and advanced processing facilities to make them so) then it should be, and if it's not then there should be taxes or fines associated with those exceptions.

Can we mention the people who either leave the dog shit on the pavement or pick it up, put it in a bag and hang it from a tree?

The streets here are full of shit, I get like 10% is probably human but it's not hard to pick up after your dog.

Most parks even have a dog shit arena so there's not really any excuse

Nothing pissed me off like a city with no trash cans when I still smoked cigarettes and carried the butts with me. Walked for blocks and blocks with no place to dispose of them responsibly. Fuck you, Berkeley.

People that don't do this are no better than animals, complete savages who can only ever be made to do right by the threat of legal punishment. They are bad members of society and we would be better off if they died.

That's most people in Japan, since trash bins are so rare

On the one hand, I'm proud that my son does this,. On the other hand, I need him to empty his pockets before they go in the wash, because even with a pre-wash check we only have an 80% success rate.

You're welcome. I don't like to litter.

And on the other end of the spectrum are complete fungal encrusted fap socks like the guy that comes into my job (dry cleaning counter) with their entire wardrobe of work clothes, with 1-2 cigarette butts in each pant pocket that I have to wear gloves in order to detail his shit over a trashcan cause he's just that much of a needledick.

His job probably has smoking rules so he can't dispose of them properly, but still, empty your pockets motherfucker!

why do people even use straws!! they're not necessary; even if we just ignore the waste factor, it still tastes way better, and if you use ice, it's colder ( my personal fav reason )

while we're at it, lids are only needed like half the time, when you are transporting the drink

plus Paper straws are disgusting!! i say abolish the straw!!

i'm about to type the most privileged sentence imaginable: i wear male pants and i don't use the pockets. i got reasons i'm not going into but i carry a bag and that bag has bags in it for trash. i'm not getting my good bag dirty i got places to go.

I'm pretty sure if we did a study, there would be a huge correlation of assholes destroying the planet to people who litter and don't put their cart back. Send those people to mars=utopia on earth?

😃

Me when I eat a piece of candy or mint and pocket the wrapper because it didn’t originate from the restaurant I’m seated at. xD

Sadly, it's negated ten times over by all those who litter.

If I threw all my trash on the side of the road id be there also.

On my days to exercise I'll pick up trash around my block on my cool down walk. If it's 3 miles out I'm likely to not pick it up given I'm typically on a run at that point.

Littering in certain spaces is a counter-gentrification force that reminds people of the waste in our society. Change my mind

I do this always, and even for my spliff ends (we call the cardboard bit a roach here) in a pocket ash tray.

It really bugs me when I find a rather nice smoke spot, lovely nature area, and upon my third or fourth visit there is just rubbish everywhere.

Folks have cleaned the areas, only to find them in such a state in practically no time at all.

I wish people would take more responsibility with their rubbish. It literally takes only one pocket, or a small otherwise unused compartment in my bag. It's ridiculously easy to not litter!!

When I was a kid, I used to have a runny nose all the time. By high school, I started carrying a tissue box, trash bag, and hand sanitizer around in my backpack.

Heck, I sometimes pick the trash I find laying around to toss it on the proper place
