Ankap - Angry at the Mayans for a false prediction? POST YOUR GRIEVANCES HERE!
He didn't say which you like, but which has more value. That's not quite the same as saying which do you prefer... Mankind includes you too, you know.
ok then.
And littering is just stupid. Can you not make it to a damn trash can? You wouldn't throw garbage on the ground in your home, so don't do it where others spend time. I'm sure you would avoid going somewhere where you have to walk around trash or where it's all over the place. The more people who litter, the more likely that's what our surroundings will look like. That's less about environmentalism and more about cleanliness.
I don't litter most of the time, I'm just guilty of doing so. I'm not always in the mood to give a damn I must say.
That reminded me of something ironic I saw a few years ago. I was on a (literal) bus in another country. Above the driver was a sign that said, “Please have respect. Do not leave trash on the bus. Throw your trash out the window.” WTF? I thought.
That was exactly what happened on a minibus I got from Gyumri to Kars last year. Since they were giving me a lift I couldn't really complain (and most of the rubbish got tossed out in Georgia, so that's forgivable I suppose ). After leaving them I knew that they had been to Ani, because they left a trail of empty Brinj mineral water bottles all over the site. Such ignorance They were mostly American Armenians BTW.

I agree, there is lots of ignorance, some denial and some apathy. But people will quickly learn. Once that was the norm in the US, too (with litter). Now, attitudes will quickly change, I believe. And about far more than litter...
