Litter

[Andeh1]

Huge pet hate of mine.

Every walk we do, rain or shine, I pick up litter along the way. Usually fill a carrier bag full per walk.

. Sets a good examples to the kids & other who see you doing it on your walk.


The worst are fking dog walkers though, pick up their dogs st which they then hang on fking branches or a gatepost. I hate those fkers so much.

I think the biggest cause of roadside litter in my rural area isn't litter louts deliberately chucking it out of their car windows but the fking useless recycle boxes that we have to use and the morons who put them out for emptying even when it's very windy.

Just one or two of them getting blown over and you've got a whole load of paper, plastic packaging and plastic bottles strewn along the roadside which then never gets picked up.

Neither of my vehicles has an ashtray, manufacturers don't bother with them much any more.

In most cases you can spec a "smoker's package" or buy it as an accessory (changing the 12v plug for a lighter, and adding an ashtray that sits in a cup holder).
