Clean Getaway
Our city beach is a little bit cleaner today after my daughter's Girl Scout troop joined with several others to pick up trash along the shoreline.
I've seen enough butts to last a lifetime. Cigarette butts, that is. What is it with smokers who think they can stand and flick their garbage out onto a public beach? Does the sand look like one giant ashtray to them?
There's never any reason to throw your waste on the ground. Well, except maybe because you're a selfish and lazy slob. That may explain your actions, but it doesn't excuse them.
My punishment to people caught tossing a cigarette butt in public parks would be to have them pick up ten more with their teeth.
This would also be a fine punishment for dog owners who fail to remove their pet's droppings from the Tubbs Hill trails.

A man and his family after my own heart. Good story, and thank everyone who helped clean up. My wife spends her days doing the same thing, though much more dog poop is involved. I would love to see stricter laws about such things, but it's hard to enforce. Thanks for the ones like your family and mine for keeping the city cleaner. The Stickman
Great thing to do, helping to clean up our planet. Way to go!
Loved your comments about smokers and their butts. How many times have you seen a lit cigarette tossed out of a car window? I don't know about up there in the frozen north, but here in California we have something called "fires" that happen when you throw a burning object! There's oughta be a law (enforced)...

That's awesome. And I am with you on the dog owner thing. That would put a stop to things real fast.
litter bugs and fag end bugs are my most hated thing...... I always taught my kids to put their rubbish in their pockets if there was no bin around..... so why on earth dont others teach the same thing....
Good for you girls scout troop or as we would call them 'girl guides' for doing all tht dirty work, which shouldnt of been needed in the first place were it not for selfish skankie people :)
