I'm always telling myself, Save the world for the betterment of the future... I was this much into telling my friends, don't do this... Walk, clean your environment, don't mess, avoid using CFC products... blah,blah... but I got this bad attitude I'll admit here, I sometimes do throw my trashes in public places... Quite a bad attitude for someone like me having an interest of saving environment in mylot...Don't react first... Even though I'm doing it, there still a big part of me saying CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE... that's my conscience probably...I just hate myself for that attitude. Can you guys help me solve my problem on disposing my small wastes? I think, it's more like an attitude here in our country, maybe I was influence by a lot of people I see littering... Help me solve this attitude problem... Thanks!

Hi! Yeah you are definiely right about that. I mean its just the common attitude here in our country. Sometimes there are jokes among my classmates and friends and sometimes even the teachers that our country is the 'Pambansang Basurahan' or somewhere in the context that its the National Trash Bin.tsk3 I have to be honest though and say that I did litter a lot when I was a kid. Id just throw the trash or wrappers outside the window of jeeps or any public utility vehicle or even just when I was walking. Id just drop the trash and wont have a care about it. But as I got older I became 'ashamed' and conscious when I drop trash anywhere or just litter. I learned to hold on to my trash until I find a garbage can or something. If you really want to change I guess its more up to you to do that. I know its easier said than done. Why not drag your friends in this 'cause'? I mean tell them not to litter and you'll let them have the license to reprimand you when they see you do it. I found that when you do it with friends its much more easier and fun. Hope that helps somehow. Goodluck!^_^

You're welcome. yep, people arent really discreet about it. I agree with you that it can really be infectious. So I wish you all the luck in the world with this change of habit. Dont forget to drag your friends. Like they say the more the merrier!

Wow, I don't how you would change your attitude. Littering is something we were taught from as far back as I can remember that was a no no. My mother wouldn't tolerate it and I wouldn't tolerate it from my children. I use to ask my children if they would like for someone to come by our yard and throw all their trash on our grass, of course they said no. So I told them that was what people were doing when they threw out trash on the ground, they were throwing their garbage on Gods grass. I'm sure they litter some, I hope they don't, but they probably have tossed out things. I don't like trash in my car, but I'd rather it be there than on the side of the road. I hope your able to get a grasp on this because it really seems to be bothering you and I agree, that is probably your conscience pricking you.
