New Age Littering

Post by Turkeytop » Fri May 08, 2020 4:15 pm

As if cigarette packages, water bottles and Tim Horton cups weren't enough, now the streets and parking lots are littered with discarded masks and gloves. Disgusting.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

This is another one of those "Have you personally seen it?" topics.
It's all over the news I know. And maybe I don't get out much.
But I do go to the Kroger or the Walgreen or the local produce/meat market about 3 times a week.

I have yet to see a mask or glove tossed to the ground, or left in a buggy.

I see it every day. One day as I was coming out of a store into the parking lot, I saw a couple pull off their glove and toss them. I yelled at them to pick up their garbage. The guy turned around and gave me the finger and continued to their car.

Out for a walk this evening there were blue glove on the street.

Butt suckers are the worst. Packs are numerous, but butts are FAR more so...

But masks/gloves? They're so far behind McDonald's or Burger King roadside trash (a.k.a. 'advertising'), it's hardly worth mentioning.
