My dad, me, and some random dude had to pull over and put out a fire someone's cigerette started. I wasn't very big yet, but it took us about 10 mins to finally get it completely out. The litter doesn't really bother me so much as the fire risk.

I really started to do that when there was the wildfires going here in Souther Cali, but yesterday I was surfing and pretty much inhaled one and chocked on it, so it grossed me the fuck out and now i'm all pissed off again at that shit.

If you look up Cedar Fire San Diego, you can see how it affected my community.

drop white/black/brown

littering is bad wrong immoral impractical disrespectful uncaring selfish destructive etc etc etc....

i'm guilty of it... if i'm walking and smoking a cig, what do youw ant me to do? stick it in my pocket?

i dunno you can tell me all you want one person makes a diffrence, but when you look at all the people in the us alone, then the smokers, then the smokers who flip their butts... you're far outnumbered... if you don't do it, someone else will so i don't really care....

if everyoen stopped, i'd stop..

i still rip up all those little things the cokes come on tho... (the 6 packs) that's easy enough to do, and i do use ashtrays if i can.. but there's not always an ashtray or trashcan around.... so... tehre you go..

I think theres worse, ALL those ciggy butts are nothing compared to those big ass companies.

"the fact that 2.1 billion pounds of cigarette filters were discarded worldwide in 1998"
thats alot of pounds.. did you know it can take 18 months to TEN YEARS for a cig butt to recycle in nature?
something I didn't know..
Cigarette Litter --Biodegradable?

Thanks. I used to work with Project Wildlife and I've seen some nasty things that those six pack wrappers do to animals.

Slipknot, I used to smoke too. but yeah, put the dam thing in your pocket. So if you go hiking on some nature trail and you smoke, you'd really throw that shit on the ground.

i dunno i think the 6packs make the turtles look cooler...
sarcasm. fyi

Lol, that guy is unique to say the least!!

It's that "Who gives a fuck what I do, its not directly hurting me" attitude that gives people like Bush power.

I think it a little bit to late to say harming future generation. We have already done that, all's you have to do is look at how the weather has changed. I mean shit just the other day it snowed then after that there was a FUCKING LIGHTNING STORM wtf is that shit.

Poor turtle... I stopped buying 6 packs with plastic like ten years ago...

it's NEVER to late...

I hate when people say ignorance is bliss just to sound cool and all high and mighty above another person. Like I don't know about the environmental effects... I just think the convenience of throwing it out the window and not having a water bottle full of nasty cigarette butts(no ashtray) far outweighs what my cigarettes are gonna do to the world. Jesus people worry about something else (preferably something of some importance) instead of bitching over little shit you can't fucking change and never will.

Do they spend tax dollars on setting up these little stupid ass hotlines? god i hope not.

I tried giving you rep for that, but I need to spread it around first...

My not doing it isn't going to change much so why inconvience myself for something that won't really matter in the end.

Out of curiosity, how many people here who are bitching about cigs on the ground drive trucks, suv's, or older model cars? If you fit into that catagory... hypocrite. How many of you have left trash behind while camping, etc? I highly doubt all of you are as concerned with the enviornment as you are trying to portray.

So do you throw them in your house, cuz a bottle is far too gross. Or do you throw then in your doorway or the Patio?.

And I dont say ignorance is bliss to sound almighty. Do you throw you McDonalds out the window. Whats the difference?

well you really can't help it if you own a older car if you can't afford a new one... You are the biggest part of the problem if you really can't see what's wrong with your statments... Litter is just plain wrong and it only takes common sense to realize it...
