Littering. I can't take it anymore. What is wrong with people?

[Creature1969]

It happens because they took the crying Native American litter commercial off TV.

Reading festival rubbish left behind.

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

To be somewhat fair most festivals/concerts/venues do not provide adequate waste disposal services, stations or receptacles

 

[DrDukePHD]

also push to outlaw overnight parking

Let's say you get cancer, lose your job or your wife leaves you, takes the house/condo. Your forced to sleep in your car for awhile. Meanwhile (as if your life doesn't suck enough, with no home or shower, or fridge, or sink, or toilet) people on a cannabis forum are advocating to get you arrested for sleeping in said car. WTF, am I in an alternate universe?

I've slept in my car many times. Not because I needed too, but because I didn't want to waste the money on a hotel. Once I was smoking a bowl and having a few beers in a grocery store parking lot when I was going to Terry Peak to snowboard, and a cop pulled in. I explained I just didn't want to pay for a hotel for just a few hours. He was cool, and left me alone. I've also slept in the parking lots at other resorts and was never hassled.

which one of those things are preventing these folks from picking up after themselves?



overnight parking is prohibited in many areas; no where did I state you should arrested for sleeping in your car - so, yeah, perhaps you are in an alternate universe.

I quit smoking cigs over 6 years ago, but I still got a cup holder ash tray off Amazon for like $15, specifically for the rare hot-box occasion with friends. Even then I use reusable glass tips for my joints which I clean and reuse. That plus a small trash can and all my trash goes out with the weekly house garbage. A couple of ozium gel systems and the car smells good is clean and I'm and respecting the enviro. The only thing I'll dump out into the street is ice left in a cup. Never a reason to dump anything out of the car onto the street.

I quit smoking too a couple years ago. My wife's been chewing the gum for like 5 years, but doesn't smoke anymore, . I have unopened packs here and am not really tempted at all. I already had them when I decided to quit so I'm saving them for the end of the world,

 

[Coldnasty]

Went for my daily walk. Came back home disgusted. What is wrong with people? I'm glad I didn't witness the fool that tossed this trash. There would have been problems.

Why? I just can't comprehend why anyone would do this. How are these people being raised? What is going through their minds? It makes me so mad. Fills me with rage. I guess I'll start taking a trash bag and gloves when I go for my walks.

Yes I'm ranting. I'm just extremely passionate about this issue.

Its always Heineken bottles, used single use cannabis containers and White Castle boxes ….. legit I sympathize with you. I also pick up behind other so called adults…. Sad to see people use the land as their garbage can

Same here & i might need to in the future, you never know. A hotel room is $150+ now its crazy af. I hate litter & people are often animals but I would never want a law prohibiting people from sleeping in their car. It's just cruel & authoritarian.

If someone has to sleep in their car that's one thing. To just dump trash has nothing to do with that. It's idiots without any respect for things that think the world is their dumping ground. There are many people living out of their vehicles that would never think of just tossing their trash out on the side of the road. Being homeless doesn't give you the right to dump your trash wherever you please.

I've slept in bushes back in the day. Miles from home, middle of the night, drunk and stoned, etc... I curled up and went to sleep. I didn't leave a single piece of garbage.

This isn't about homeless. It's about the lack of respect so many have for the planet. People just tossing trash here and there, dumping stuff down the drain without concern, etc... Littering and polluting the environment isn't a sexy topic but it's a very important one.

I'll be out September 17'th National Cleanup Day with garbage bags wearing gloves and picking up as much trash as I can. I ask others to do the same.

When people do shit like that and I see it I confront them. Most people don't like confrontation and it can actually make them think twice next time. I'm a good teacher. I've given many lessons, .

 

[PadawanWarrior]

Nice one, . Fixed it,

Did you kill her?!?!?!

George and Jerry were punks. I'm not. I rarely confront people but when I do I'm not playing around.

I'm not a big guy but in good shape and can be a little intimidating to some. Especially when I square up. Had to assume the position a little while back. Some methy freak ran up on the lady and I as I exited the vehicle to get a six pack from a convenience store. I told the dude to move on but he kept advancing. It wasn't until I made an advance towards him and authoritatively told him to "Back Off!" that he retreated and removed himself as what I perceived as a minor threat. That was the end of that. But I'm always cautious of someone that may be carrying a weapon and in the instances where I have concern I will defer from starting a confrontation.

 

[Drop That Sound]

I finally came to terms with the garbage that is everywhere. There is a hidden beauty in the way a candy wrapper swirls around in the wind.

I still see a bright future so bright ahead, and I gotta wear 1,000 free pairs of discarded or lost shades.

I am going to build an entire kingdom out of trash. It's a never-ending resource, and it the most sustainable practice humans contribute too. My castle is going to be epic. Mountains of trash is gold to me now, while people slave for dollar bills. I would have to be a multi millionaire to afford the building materials I salvaged during the Trump presidency, while everyone else was complaining. It was so cheap driving around collecting free and unwanted stuff.

1000's of years from now, the worst hazardous waste will combine with fukashima and hanford nuclear waste, and form into new radio active minerals, and sources of energy to keep the last mutant humans alive, and they'll be able to fly to mars, etc.

What, lol? Those guys are woosies. . Those guys that took the dresser are weak too. I'll just say they wouldn't have taken it from me,

I agree, but it's got nothing to do with trash, well kinda,
