Littering. I can't take it anymore. What is wrong with people?

This reminds me of when my mom drove me to get my car at the auto shop once. While we were waiting for them to open she threw all the garbage from her purse onto their parking lot. So I got out of the car, picked it all up, and handed it back to her, all while she was pleading with me to please stop.

She's never littered in my presence again so I hope she kicked that habit entirely.

it is pretty easy first one would fold up the foil from a cigarette packet into a long snake maybe a quarter inch wide or a little thinner and roll it up into a wheel, this is called the diamond or garrick, it is eventually stuck in the mouthpiece and is used to keep the weed from going in your mouth.

To make the bottle neck part you hold a lighter steady with one hand while rotating the bottle so you make a super hot ring around the neck ( bottle with a nice straight neck works best).

hold out your index and middle finger and spit in the space between them to prevent yourself from burning, then slap the hot ring with that saliva strip.
It should pop off pretty clean from the rest of the bottle. without shattering. Scrape off sharp edges on some cement or tarmac. stick your filter in the end and fill her up with weed.

Most cars don't have ashtrays anymore. Usually it's a change thing now. They also don't have cigarette lighters anymore. I lose my shit when people throw lit butts out here in the mountains. But I didn't care in cities like Seattle.

Not a fan of littering though.
I’m not a fan of the original artists of this song, and Dick Cheese has their own fans, but I do really like this cover-

I knew a guy from SA who said they used to use spark plug sockets as chillums

We are a wasteful species. Always have been. We know a lot about the past peoples by digging around in their garbage piles. This non-centralized garbage does suck though. Always seems like an individual against the world in these times. Screaming into the void. Why can't we be better?! Because we aren't. We are trashing the place and the people. It is going to be entropy playing out.
I don't like it, but I understand garbage in and around peoples places. It's the garbage in the wild areas that blows my mind. I always end up with a pack full of garbage when I go to them. But, people do what people have always done.

More often than not it's garbage bought AT the event. Food cartons, drink cups etc. You can't have 10 trash cans for 10,000+ people and expect spic-n-span grounds.
That's a good point, but AFTER you buy it, you still own the empty containers and are responsible to get rid of them responsibly rather than tossing them on the ground.

There is nothing wrong with people bringing heavy duty plastic bags and see if they can set an example for the slobs by self organizing some kind of cleanup while the show is going on. People, like monkeys, sometimes learn by observation.

Do YOU take concert trash home with you?

No. You don't. So stop pushing a lame argument. My point stands.

excellent point.
for how much they charge for food/drinks at a concert/festival/sporting event, they can provide adequate trash cans; the ticket price/service charges should cover that.
I once saw a reflection in the Flattops wilderness and walked about a half mile thinking it may be a distress signal.It was a mylar balloon that had been set free somewhere.I carried it out.
