The world is my rubbish bin....


What the heck, are we living back in the 60s?  Do we need to start spending tax payers money on adverts stating the bleeding obvious .  Far too often I come across discarded coffee cups, beer cans and other assorted garbage on our trails and roadways.  It's not a complicated thought process.  If you do feel the need to introduce a paper cup into your coffee drinking habits, and yes it happens to us all once in a while, under no circumstances should you think that it is ok to simply chuck it on the ground when you are done with it.  Contrary to the belief of that intellectual juggernaut - Ricky on Trailer Park boys - it doesn't just "go away".  If you feel the urge to just toss it on the trail - control it!

It's also just not on to toss cigarette buts out of the car window or release candy bar wrappers into the wind.  We are trying to have a civilized society.  Take your garbage home with you or discard it in the assigned spot - PLEASE.

Wow, had to get that off my chest.  I feel much better now.
