Do you litter?
Answer:
Honestly I try my best to not to be. It's hard to believe why people are so inconsiderate, just throwing things around.
Not me. Pick up my dog poo, carry reusable bags to the store. Even my car is a hybrid, so it's not littering either.
;)
sometimes
I used to real bad, I wouldn't think twice about throwing something out the window, however now I JUST DONT DO IT. In fact I help with an adopt a way program to clean up litter, wierd eh.
I am very careful not to. If the wind accidently blows a small paper from my hand and I can't retreive it, I hope the wind deposits it in a can somewhere.
On another note:
One summer while I was driving on Rt 1 in Rhode Island, my fiance' saw a car pulled over by a state policeman. She asked me to stop and I did not to far from them. After the policeman left, I quickly drove up to the car and asked the driver what happened. He said he was seen littering. The driver swore he did not throw anything out the window except he was 'cleaning ' his nose and flicked it out of the window. This is what the policeman saw and charged the driver with 'litterboogin.'
Nope.
No, because i've seen what it does to animals that live in the wild and in the water.. It's the sadest thing in the world.
I never litter. I have a trash bag in my car for any trash that accumulates. It's senseless to litter and so unneccessary. It's easy to discard trash when you fill up with gas or even at home if you don't like keeping trash in a bag in your car or otherwise. I also do not let the children litter and explain to them why it is important that we treat the Earth with respect. I have even picked up trash along my entire street because it sickened me to see how trashy it looked.
not at all..
I try very hard not to. But unfortunately, where I live we aren't able to recycle all plastics. I make a conscious effort to recycle everything that I possibly can in my state.
Best wishes!
no
I have in the pass but I really try not to now as an adult
Sometimes. I honestly try not to.
no but if im holding some fruit or vegetable that i finished eating then i throw the remains on some tree or bushes for it to compost.
No! I do not litter & I have been known to call someone out on it, even strangers. I may make them feel bad or upset them, but atleast they know not everyone is ok with it.
I once followed someone home for throwing a bag of McD's out of their window & hitting my car with it...Needless to say...they washed my car, after I told their parents.(punk teenagers with no consideration to people around them or their environment)
It is not right to litter!
I wont even grace this question with a straight answer
here are some points on public behavior
The best we can do as individuals is be more responsible ,in our own neck of the woods
Organise well publicized clean up parties ,talk on the radio
Have citizan meetings
Get the shools involved to plant trees and listen to environmental awareness talks,
If you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,
We have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many)
than your efforts are a waste of time.
That is what we do in Mexico
POSITIVE ACTIONS
Print Tshirts with slogans ,hang posters all over the place (with recycled paper if possible)
Classify trash take out all the organic waste and make compost with it ,the worst you can do is throw it with the trash
70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .
And it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground
And it is the easiest to take care of
o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid
If you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,dead bodies ,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell
the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull blck soil for the garden of flower pots .
If you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,
Add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist
This rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full

If you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes
Reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.
The capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.
The world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia
Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.
The protection of existing forrests.
Stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.
Education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.
Education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´population
Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.
More environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks
More dams.regulations and control for public behaviour
Alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine
Recicling wastes,limit water use

no, i'm a goody two shoes!
and it drives me crazy when people throw their cigarette butts out the window. they don't think of it as littering, but seriously, there are no "cigarette butt fairies." when you throw it out the window, it just falls on the ground and stays there. it's litter.
No I don't and that's the truth.
