...Tasker, a lot of people do NOT "think".<br /><br />I don't believe people drop litter with ill intent. They just do. Which is why, occasionally, I will ask the droppers: "Who do you think will be clearing up after you?" As I come across as friendly and approachable I am usually met with a moment of consternation - then a light bulb moment. Works every single time. The Angle, my son, marvels at the fact that, so far, no one has yet rearranged my face.<br /><br />I do admire the likes of Cro's daughter. However, I sometimes think, and it's strange since I am a pretty charitable person "Let them sink in their own rubbish. DO NOT clear up after them." Obviously, I do realize, that's, for the rest of us, not exactly viable - but still. It's the thought that counts.<br /><br />U<br /><br />Ursulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-35954859094821846252021-10-19T11:36:33.669+01:002021-10-19T11:36:33.669+01:00I simply can't understand why some people thin...I simply can't understand why some people think they can throw their rubbish anywhere.

What I don't like is the sense of futility in them. Is it enough? No. Not on it's own, I suppose, but somebody begins <i>doing</i>, and is lauded, and perhaps more will begin doing. Perhaps one day our efforts WILL be enough. Every journey begins with one small step. Be the change you want to see in our world.
