That is why litter bugs need to be heavily fined and if they can't pay the fine force them to collect trash for 40 hours along the streets and beaches. These people who flagrantly toss cigarette butts and the cellophane wrapper from their cigarette packs out their windows along with the rest of the crap they throw out should be held accountable.
I despise litter bugs and in my former career never let one slide. I would stop and write them a ticket and let them tell the judge their pathetic reason for why they had to toss that empty six-pack of bottles or bag of fast food garbage out the window as they were driving down the street. The best part was when they then turned out to be driving on a suspended license or had expired registration and I would have the car towed and often they could not afford to bail their car out of the tow yard. That bag of McDonald's trash just cost them a trip to jail and their POS car.
Did I mention I despise litter bugs?
Jeeze man what a dick...Its just trash. It dosent effect us or future generations in anyway what so ever.
The Earth is a Giant living orgnism and we are simply bacteria living on top of it.
When you consider the size of the earths core and crust and then the tiny amounts of land we inhabit underneath the atmosphere. Well we are actually polluting maybe..maybe 1% of the earth.
Honestly in the big picture we are so small and insignificant compared to the earth that we could NEVER do any real damage. Merely bacteria and nothing more except in our own minds. Much like a paramecium under a magnifying glass swimming around and reproducing. We are no differant.
The earth clenses its self. If every human were to die today then within just 150 years every man made structure would collapse due to weather and natural disasters or just plain old unattended decay. In just 150 years it would be almost as if we were never here. Even that mighty litter island would cease to exist.
Is it that we really care about the earth (wich can more than take care of its self) or that some people just have the inner desire to be part of somthing bigger than the bacteria we are.
I for one couldnt give a shit about tree huggers or all the BS getting spouted about the enviorment ect. Its just used as a diversion by the goverment as somthing good to talk about verses the real problems that are going on.
Those peices of trash mixed in with the sand are really so unpleasant? I guarantee that they are made from items supplied by the earth. They didnt come from mars ect. While you may find them visually unpleaseing or say a fish will swallow them and die ect. Someone else may find them colorful and adding and a crustation may add them to its shell.
Im in LE and a good talking to is all people get when they litter around me. They didnt hurt anyone or likewise put anyones life at danger. They threw some trash on the ground. A God Given right since the dawn of man long before trash recepticles were ever thought of. PC is PC and if thats what you used to obtain it to get them on bigger violations then hey that was your style. But to say how you screwed some laborer and in some cases had them lose their transportation over a McDonalds cup in a lil disconcerting.
Did I mention I dont give two shits about littering?
