On Wednesday as i walked in the classroom for my English class i went to my regular seat next to a fellow student. In front of us there was a box and i asked what it was. "take one" she said. "are they yours" i asked her and she said no they were just lying there, that probably someone left it there. In the box there were three whole donuts, big ones.
I thought that as a very big waste of food. The person should be ashamed of him/herself. Why? simple reasons. The most obvious is that the person who owed this box just left it there. the proper thing would be to take it with him/her or simply throw it in the garbage bin. The bin was right next to the table! I get really irritated when i see people do that. they hold on a paper, they want to throw it away and because they are too bored to cross the street for example and throw it in the bin they just throw it on the ground. There was a very successful advertisement back in my country. In the Ad there was a man that threw on the ground his garbage and at the end he found in front of him a big pile o garbage. the message was "don't throw your garbage anywhere. you will meet them in front of you again"meaning that one way or another your actions will have consequences on you.
So next time when you are about to leave a garbage behind or throw it on the street think. is it plastic or is it paper? paper can melt after a short time of rain and sun. plastic needs hundreds of years. is it food or a cigar? food will go back to nature. A cigar can burn nature. Were is the nearest garbage bin? If not in the area keep it for later. It will not take extra space in your pocket or your bag and it does not cost you. It costs to the environment.

That was the perfect answer to this post!!!!
I hate when people litter too, it's a pet peeve of mine. I always wish I had the guts to pick up the garbage walk up to the person and say you must have accidently droped this. What jerks!
WhatI hate iswhen I walk downthe street and see a million cigarette-buts allover the ground especially right around the recepticle that is placed there specificallyfor them!
