OK, so, I know I shouldn't be so naive as to think that everyone understands the ways of the world. And I DEFINITELY shouldn't be so naive to think that everyone cares about the planet we live on. But, I mean, COME ON! I can't believe there are still people out there who throw trash out their car windows. I mean, seriously?
I know, I know...you still see trash on the side of the road. And I've been part of a crew of ladies who picked up trash on a 2-mile stretch...we did that for a few years. But, I guess I just hadn't actually SEEN anyone do it. And now twice in one week. 1st guy--a plastic water bottle. Oh my gosh--are you kidding me? That's one of the easiest things to get rid of responsibly by recycling. Almost every neighborhood has a recycling program that accepts plastic. And even apartment complexes, once they have a certain number of residents, have to offer recycling. I totally glared at him when I pulled up next to him at the light--I was appalled. He seemed confused by my glare. (that part was kinda funny, though)
Then, this morning, driving behind another car, I see a guy toss out a styrofoam cup from Whataburger. Ok, now I know styrofoam may not be as easy to get rid of, but some of those cups can be recycled with the other plastic and cans. I mean, at LEAST hold on to it and put it in the trash when you get home. At least show a LITTLE responsibility.
damn the human race...we are such jerks sometimes.
