Waste

I noticed the other day as I was driving down the street that there is quite a bit of trash along the side of the road. Not trash that was dumped together, but trash that slowly finds it's way into the weeds and grass on the side of the road. And the sad thing is, I can't say I've ever seen a "clean" road, unless you're in a neighborhood or something like that. What I can't figure out is what sort of person throws their trash out the window. What's the logic? "Well that double quarter pounder sure was good, guess I'll just chuck the bag out my window to finish that quality meal off".

I mean, is it that difficult to drive home and throw it in the trash? And this doesn't even begin to consider the sort of person that packages their home trash up and drives down the street to dump it. A while back I was driving down the freeway and the guy in front of me threw a water bottle out the window. Not even onto the side of the road, but right out his window as he was zipping down the middle lane.

And speaking of trash, has anyone else noticed how insanely wasteful businesses are with their excessive packaging and extra bags for everything. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've told the checkout person that I don't need a bag for the one item I am purchasing. It's just insane. And I don't think you need to be a left wing liberal sandal wearing hippy to notice these things.
