ABC Wednesday #21: N

16 Oct

Just look at the numbers. They do not lie. Numbers don’t lie. We litter. We trash our world. It is the only one we have.

I took this picture in 2010 when I participated in the Coastal Cleanup program. I could attest to the cigarette butts. Each time I volunteer for a cleanup program, that’s the most item I collect. I thought people stopped smoking?

    I HATE cigarette filters. Picked up over 1300 on the first Earth Day in 1970

    I guess we (Humans) are just slobs.
    Those numbers are staggering.
    It seems some people just live in a giant ashtray!

    Those numbers certainly do NOT lie…too many cigarette butts lying around for sure. But we all NEED to take part in keeping our countries clean.

    That is amazing how much people litter and I’m with you, I thought everyone had quit smoking. Carver, ABC Wed. Team

    I have no doubt that cigarette butts are the number one thing, sweeping my street will attest to that. I agree, as a Californian, I assume everyone I see smoking is a European, but alas, not true. Sad commentary on our world that littering is so prevalent.

    A horrible commentary on our society. People should be ashamed, and yet just today I watched someone throw things out of their car onto the street.

    Wow, it’s amazing how the largest number is the one that is causing death in human.
