Pick Up Your Trash!
One thing I cannot stand is when I see people throw their cigarettes into the street. I always want to run after them with the butt and say, “Excuse me, you dropped this.” I would then thrust it into their hand. I am not courageous enough for this but I always make a face when I see it.

I was once walking behind a man who dropped an empty cigarette pack on the ground.. I ran after him with it saying “hey you dropped this”. He shrugged and told me it was empty so I repeated “you dropped this” … and then he yelled at me. (great story huh?)

I say you take their picture and post it on your blog. Run up and hand them their trash and say “Hold on for just a sec” while you take their picture. Then smile really big and thank them. If you’re feeling up to it ask if you can have their name for your website.

hey there, i tried to reply before but i think my computer was malfunctioning. i used to be grossed out by that stuff, before i was a smoker. then i was a smoker and i developed ‘don’t care’ syndrome. easy to do when you are destroying your body, as you can imagine. but ever since i quit two years ago, i have been….indifferent. because i know how hard it is to quit and how much you feel like crap when you finally realize what an addiction is and that you have one, i think that littering, unfortunately, is the least of that person’s problems. and calling their attention to it makes them feel more like crap and less like changing their habits. i think perhaps its best to forgive and detach from it and pray that they get healthy….
