-- Throw your cigarette butts in the garbage!

Originally posted by Orko This is the exact flaw in your thinking. Throwing away a butt does not take any resources away from solving other problems. If we were trying to get the city to hire people to pick up butts then you would have a valid point, because that money could be used to support other ares of the city. No money is being spent, and no city workers are being used to help the situation. Leave the point alone.

my point is that time and focus get wasted on non issues like this when we could be focusing our energies on solving real issues. Spending capital doesnt always mean we are spending money. Capital comes in the form of thought/mentality, time, education, energy, and money. We are wasting too much energy, time and thought on too many non issues which sacrifices dealing with the real ones.

I have. Got a nice garbage can fire out of it, and grounded for about 4 months.

You want a cleaner city? How about putting the damn ashtray tops back on garbage cans. That'll do for a start.

Graham isn't calling for the gov't to enact legislation.

He's doing something that's far better, IMHO...asking people to stop being so fucking lazy and take some responsibility for their own actions.

I make it a point to find a garbage...for things as small as gum wrappers...so why can't smokers (and other people who litter with abandon) do the same? It's really not asking much and doesn't cost ANYONE a dime.

but have to make sure its the mesh type or else in the rain, it just gets full and overflows...

People can't even throw litter away yet alone their cigarette butts.

grrr.

worthy cause... but tossing butts into the garbage is bad news... potential for fires - but maybe that's more because people don't properly out the cigarette beforehand...?

I'm sure some of the tax money being raked in on cigarettes could be used to provide proper receptacles around the city!

LOL... stale cigarette water.... YUMMY!

How about we all just stop smoking?

Just make sure the cigarette is out FULLY before putting in the garbage!!!! I had a terrible fire in my kitchen garbage last year! We were searching around wher eis the fire and it was coming out of a cupboard!

Also nevr dispose of butts in the toilet - they could get caught in the fan looking thing and it is a BIATCH to repair! SO I heard


I will try my best to throw them out, but I think that's one BIG reason why there are street cleaners!?

there's the big brother reply i was looking for lol

to avoid the whole fire issue, don't butt it out, but roll the "heater" out of the end of the smoke. One flick the fire is gone. Roll the butt up in a little ball and toss it in the trash.

Not just cigarette butts but ALL garbage. Nothing pisses me off more than when people have garbage and they just throw it on the ground. ESPECIALLY when you're going to be walking past a garbage anyway.

A perfect example of this was a little while ago I saw some guy walking across the street and he was finishing up a cup of ice cream. He set it down on a sign as he walked towards the mall. THERE'S A GARBAGE IN THE MALL! Is it really that hard to hold the cup in your hand until you get to the mall?! Geez people.

And for the love of God...RECYCLE!!

ahh the white sand...used to stick my fingers in it...they used to be near elevators. Funny how you had to out your smokes before you entered the elevator.

Now you have to out them when you enter Toronto.

As if this turned into a debate.

Graham raises a good point, and Jay dismissing this as "petty whining", when Jay posted more useless whine threads than anyone I know. If I wanted to hear whining and misguided opinions, I watch Bill O'Reily.

Most of my complaints are about the complainers... you should know that by now.
