      Yeah, it’s literally free to not litter. If you have the tiniest shred of care inside, you can just not do it, at no disadvantage.

        Back when I was in school we used to have a day where we would go outside and pick up trash, and I knew someone who’d litter with the reasoning of “it doesn’t matter, because I’ll be picking it back up on that day anyway”. Which to me never made much sense as a reasoning, because you’re still gonna be walking to school surrounded by all the trash the rest of the year?

        Anywho, it’s not related to anything you said, but it just reminded me of it

          It would make sense if you littered on that day only, before the pick-up, and only if it wasn’t light enough to blow away.

        That is not true at all. If it was, I would litter everywhere, and my body freak, health-obsessed adopted sister would never have thrown plastic wrappers cheerfully out the window of the car. (She does not do that any more, we trained her to give a shit. Hard upbringing, from which our adoption lifted her.)

        No I don’t think that’s right.

        I like to eat junk food. I often make a pizza from my freezer. I like to eat chips. I do not litter.

            That doesn’t sound right. We should be able to tell everything about a given person from one aspect of their life

        I eat junk food. I treat my body like a trash can. Doesn’t mean I treat the environment I live in the same. I share that environment with other people. While I may be trash inside, I don’t extend that where it intrudes upon other people. I care more about others than myself. My environment is spotless, I am not.
        I think you are wrong.

        I don’t think that’s true. But seeing that the majority of litter around where i live is from McDonald’s, it might also not be completely false
