If only it would be that easy. I didn't think of it earlier but I live
in an apartment complex. I have seen people pull up in their car, drop
some garbage (usually some sort of drink or fast food container) and
then go inside to their apartment. Leaving the trash behind. Or they
will toss the trash before driving off to work or whatever. They only
have to carry the trash just a few tens of feet and that's too much
for them. It just shows that these people don't care about littering
even in front of their own abode.
