horribleblob Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don't think theres any1 in the world whos never dropped a piece of litter in there lives. I'm sure you're right, but I think this thread is more about habitual droppers rather than inadvertant or reluctant litterers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentbob Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 People drop litter because they haven't been taught not to - blame the parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don't think theres any1 in the world whos never dropped a piece of litter in there lives. Yes there is I think that dropping litter is just a sign about how little some people care for themselves. Why would anyone choose to live in a world covered in litter?

Sultana Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Dare I suggest that if parents do not teach their children not to drop litter, then that explains it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*binty* Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 but it's not JUST children that drop litter is it? I've seen young adults and OAP's dropping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It is obviously a deliberate action, the psychology of which eludes me. Perhaps they are marking their territory, or as a sign of protest, or laying down some kind of challenge to society? Wonder what they'd say if someone flung a half eaten pizza onto their lounge carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxforcefive Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Dare I suggest that if parents do not teach their children not to drop litter, then that explains it? My kids know not to drop it, but I've caught my son doing it with starburst wrappers, he was looking at me (to make sure I wasn't watching) and then let go of the wrapper behind his back, I was watching, oops.

Phanerothyme Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's weird, but you don't see half as much litter in european cities.Whether that's because they pick it up more efficiently, or just drop less, I don't know. It's bad here around Empire road, drifts of the stuff. It's one of the few things that does get me down - such a simple change in behaviour would lead to such a great improvement in the milieu.

Munch Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think its all about laziness and respect. People that drop litter have either not learnt how to respect their surroundings and others yet or or never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
