Why do you litter? (12)
I don't litter and I'm very particular about that.
I was taught not to litter as a child and as an adult I'm aware of the toll on wildlife.
But perhaps the greatest influence on my attitude was a family holiday at Butlins in Minehead when I was two years old. They had bins in the shape of a pig with a vacuum in the mouth area. When you put any rubbish in the pig's mouth you'd get that grunt noise you get when vacuuming something obstructive off the carpet.
To this day, I get a pleasure response from finding a bin and throwing stuff away, so effectively did the grunty piggy bins programme my formative mind.

There is a park in Holland called the Efteling.
They too have those trash bins everywhere, different characters, making different sounds.
My favorite was a dwarf that belched and then slowly said "Danke" after receiving some trashy treat.
I went back to him again and again.

So, I liked the grunty piggy and you liked the dwarf who belched.
I wonder what that says about us.
Thinking about it, in later childhood years I collected pigs. I had all sorts of ornaments, pictures and utility items related to the snouted creatures. On my 12th Birthday I had a windowsill full of pig related cards...and pork chops for tea.
I've not eaten meat since that day.
I wonder if the course of my life has been influenced by those bins. I can't imagine what else might have sparked the interest in pigs.
Kaybee...? Is there anything you need to tell us?

I don't litter.
I sometimes pick up other people's litter and throw it in the proper place.

I litter sometimes. Nothing big just sometimes a little cigarette butt or a little piece of paper. Sometimes I might toss a coffee cup on the ground but not too much. The stuff I throw on the ground is so little that it doesnt matter that much.

Not a litterer.
Which pretty much explains why the inside of my Expedition needs a cleaning.

But it does matter.I wonder why you believe it doesn't?
A cigarette butt can cause a major fire.
One coffee cup multiplied by the thousand other people doing the same.
Take care of the gift of this earth. Treat it with respect.

I was saying something similar whilst cleaning the crap out of my floorboards earlier. Found a couple of needed receipts too. Lol
