Have you ever gone on a nature hike and found a pristine little chunk of Gaiaa, free of humanity, and then looked a little closer and found a beer can or some sort of grody old wrapper? How about a ciggarette butt or a big wad of gum in the middle of the sidewalk?
That’s right, people actually think its okay to throw their used containers and other crap on the ground. They litter the streets and parking lots in town and that’s bad enough. Then they throw stuff out their car windows too. It’s just laziness, usually. Too hard to hang onto that garbage and dispose of it at the end of the trip.
Yeah, you say, but what can I do about it? Nothing.
Well, there is a site called Litterbutt. Their slogan is “The world is not your garbage can.” They are into reporting people for littering, so go have a gander.
One thing I can guarantee you, for some reason Blue Beaver Beer drinkers never throw their bottles or cans on the ground. They must all put them in a proper recycling container or garbage can, as you will never see a Blue Beaver bottle broken or a Blue Beaver can smashed. Weird, eh?
The whole “the world is all about me, so that means I’m too good for the rules” attitude is WAY too prevalent in the world today. Good for Litterbutt for taking a stand!
