I know there are never any trash cans in our cities in moments of dire need. That’s not because the government didn’t put them there, but because the charsi society had brighter ideas. So to be fair, while the Government can do better in garbage management and curtailing the charsi community, we can too. Trust me it’s not hard to carry a bag in the car and trash it in the right place sometime later. That one per cent inconvenience makes up for a lot of inconveniences and problems for the Government, businesses, people and even animals and plantae.

Don’t wait for a trash search party to trace that flying wrapper from behind a rock and dispose it off, when you can easily do so by holding on to it or putting in a trash bag in your car.

I will try next time to be careful, too. Sorry for this time. See if you can spread the thought.
