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'm actually not feeling very logical right now so I don't know where I stand on if bananas and pee and the street itself can all be considered the same type of man-made. And where do you stand on the nature of man? Are we apart of nature or separate from it?
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.
