No offense to any members that smoke, but I need to vent!!! :twitch:
I live in a nice Condo complex with lots of wildlife. We have lovely tree's and foliage surrounding us, it's very beautiful and peaceful. Some rather new neighbors moved in across from the people that live above us and they have a teenager daughter. She often sits on the stairs that lead up to the second level (which is a few feet from our front door) with a bunch of guys.
We had a problem with them not picking up after themselves in the past. One morning when I woke up garbage was everywhere. I was pissed. Yes, I have littering pet peeve, as one could tell from the "Don't Litter - Keep California Beautiful" sticker on my car. I picked it all up and left a sign where they commonly sit saying, "Please don't leave trash." Another neighbor who lived next to us at the time complained to the teen's mother. We never had the problem again.
Well now they are leaving cigarette buds everywhere for me to clean up because I don't want to see that everyday. The earth is not your personal ashtray! That may make me sound like a tree huger, but it's true! I have no problem with people who smoke, one of my best friends does. It's a matter of cleaning up after yourself. It's really not that difficult... and I'm a very lazy person. However, I don't believe the Earth is ours to trash.
I feel like such an oldie. urpletongue
