How much do you litter?
Littering is against the law in most countries and a lot of people don't do it because it's vulgar and inconsiderate of others.
But what do you do when no one is looking?

Actually today I felt guilty about the all the litter me and my friends had left in the woods after our BBQ camp party thing.
I drove out in to the middle of butt fuck nowhere armed with some black bin liners and gloves picking up bottles and wrappers to stop myself from feeling bad.
I'm in my senior year of high school, and I generally only litter my garbage (wrappers, cups, bottles, etc.) when I'm with my friends, or when I'm alone. When there are other people around I don't know I'll wait for them to clear out before I drop anything. If I'm in my car though, I'll toss it out my window whenever. If I were to drop an empty bag from McDick's while I was walking, somebody may comment. But if I toss it out my window while driving I don't get any looks and nobody comments.
TBH, I don't really care where it ends up.
As Louis C.K. said, towns are not the environment. They are where PEOPLE live. I believe litter is only dangerous in the case of trash bins(where they are dumped into the middle of the oceans to leach lead into and choke birds, etc.) or when you litter something into the wilderness that is not bio-degradable.
i litter all the time. i live in china, no one cares. if you dont litter then the people that clean the streets wouldnt have a job. you would want that now would you. i even litter inside restaurants, my favorite i throw the napkins under the tables and my ciggerette butts.
I don't litter.
Food is only OK to throw out on the ground if you're away from town (pavement, sidewalks) and away from the road, really. Somehwere where you won't attract pests or insects to homes/businesses and where you won't entice an animal to come right near the roadside to eat the food and get hit or cause an accident.
I only littered once, when I was out with friends and they all just threw everything on the floor, so I did too, almost without thinking. I felt so bad about it that I blew the whole thing out of proportion, and I never did it again. I'll keep it in my pocket if there is no bin around, and wait until I get home. My whole town is totally plastered with litter at the moment, nobody cares about the environment they live in, and the council don't do enough to clean it up.
