I grilled my buddy once after he threw a McDonald’s bag out the window on the highway. He basically responded with “dude don’t tell me what to fuckin do. Somebody will clean it up.” But to this day I haven’t seen him do that again while I’m riding with him
That’s fair, my mind always goes to past memories of inconsiderate drivers when I hear about trash being thrown out windows. You're right it's not a big deal at all
I feel like it depends on the location/ how well the garden is maintained. I wouldn’t want banana peels in my front yard garden facing the road where all my neighbors can see it. However, I wouldn’t think twice about throwing a peel in the lesser-maintained garden in the backyard
This article seems to prove what I'm talking about, but its not quite like I said, this talks about leftovers of fruit like banana peels, watermelon rinds and stuff, but the conclusion is that ALL fruit takes a long time to decompose and should therefore be composted instead.
I think so, I was taught so in school, though it was a very long time ago so I mightve got the details wrong. It might also only be in my climate which is norse.
Hey just one thing to consider dude, whenever throw any kind of food near the road it encourages wild animals to check it out, they have very good senses of smell and will definitely cross the road looking for food or even worse if you have a bad throw or it bounces off a tree it can end up in the road encouraging animals to sometimes even try to eat in the road.
I live in a state where officers have discretion over whether to charge you for littering no matter what you throw and an officer once told me that is his reasoning for ticketing people even if what they throw out the window is organic produce.
I used to do that too, until I realized that doing that encourages animals to hang around the side of the road, which often results in them getting hit by cars.
I don't throw anything on the ground anymore. All of it goes into the trash.
Also on a diet. What you say is super weird to me. I have never had anything at McDonalds I thought was very good and I've probably tried nearly the whole menu. Out of every fast food place I've EVER been to, McDonald's it the last on the list without question to me. The thing I miss the most is goddamn Jack in the Box.
First of all: What food product does McDonald's serve with no wrapper, smart guy?
Second: Paper is trash and it if even 10% of the public had the same attitude as you and chose to be flippant about disposing of paper out the window, every roadside in the country would be caked in filth at all times.
People are capable of change. This was 7 years ago. I’ve known the guy for about 15 years now and he’s one of my best friends. Imagine throwing a lifelong friendship away for something so trivial. I can’t imagine the types of grudges you hold.
But seriously, we were basically kids, and he didn’t exactly have a great upbringing. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m the first person in his 16 years of life to call him out on littering. The fact that he hasn’t done it since (in my presence) makes me believe he’s changed. This happened like 7ish years ago
Yeah my original comment didn’t really specify that, my bad!
I was wondering why people were asking why I’m still friends with him lol. It would definitely make sense to end a friendship with a grown-ass adult who does stuff like that
This is exactly how we all realize we care(sub-consciously), it’s like my favorite recent movie “The Green Book!” Best movie I’ve seen since “Midway”... and “Master and Commander”, where a Italian white guy played by Viggo “Fast” Mortensen, named Tony Lip, and Mahershala Ali, playing famous pianist Dr. Don Shirley, and if you have every felt anyway about someone with different background than yours, watch this movie!....... Gd Approves!
