Yeah, it’s an odd kind of littering. As if it’s acceptable to throw a cigarette butt on the ground when, I think, most people would agree that dropping an empty bottle, can and candy wrapper onto a pavement would be seen as wrong. Maybe we need an awareness campaign to highlight this disparity in thinking. Maybe it could show some people walking around, dropping litter and the end line would be something like ‘you wouldn’t drop an empty soda bottle on the pavement. Why do it with your cigarette?'

I’m with you on the dog poo bags. I see so many of those here in the UK, too. I find it weird that people can take the time to bend down, pick up the poo and bag it, only to dump the bag. We live in strange times, that’s for sure!
