Writer's Block: My Biggest Environmental Pet Peeve
People throwing garbage out their windows on the highway. For a few reasons:
1. If you're just walking and you have a piece of trash that you don't feel like carrying, I can see the logic of not wanting to carry it anymore and just dropping it. In a car, you can just set it aside and toss it when you arrive at wherever you're going. Its not like you have to hold it in your hands.
2. Its dangerous. The trash you through out your window on the road could land on someone else's windshield. Or, as you're digging around for that Big Mac package you dropped in the backseat, you're probably not paying attention to the road.
3. Its different from leaving the water running, or leaving the lights on, you're actively making it worse for everyone around you because you're too lazy to find a bin.
