“The ultimate test of man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.”— Gaylord Nelson former governor of Wisconsin, co-founder of Earth Day
I smoked from about the age of 18 to 28. I quit a thousand times before I was able to quit the habit. During that time I tossed many butts out car windows and along the sidewalks. Yes, I’m guilty! At this point in my life I’m more aware of my responsibility in cleaning up my act. It requires an effort by all of us to provide a clean place to live for future generations. I can see we are making a difference. Yet, some people still miss their mark. I found this cigar about 50 feet from the nearest trash receptacle. They weren’t even close.

It’s not trash; it’s a photo op. I’m sure the previous owner of this butt didn’t put it in the trash for fear of causing a fire. He should be given a medal. And he shouldn’t be too hard to find; his DNA is all over it.
Nice shot, though.

But, we did not catch the culprit.

Where is the CSI team when we need them?
People who litter really bug me. I want to pick up a load of trash and dump it in their living room. Of course, I wonder if they would notice?

It’s interesting to see the sorts of messes people leave on our airplanes. I too, wonder what their home must look like.
