As I was walking home tonight, there was litter everywhere, the verges where the wild plants grow are full of trash, fast food wrappers and other waste that will take years to rot away.

I spent my time taking care of my little bit of land,putting down manure for next years crops.

It just makes me wonder why people do not care? they will throw fast food wrappers out of their car window onto the pavement and drive away.

I've seen worse, like a still lit cigarette thrown out of a car window onto dry grass obviously not caring that he could've made a lot of people homeless had it lit (and it might've if I hadn't stomped it out).

Someone let their dog poop on the sidewalk and it was less than a foot from a Catholic church grounds but the groundskeepers there wouldn't pick it up.

I saw little kids climbing in a tree above a bunch of broken glass and a lot of broken glass on the street and parking lot where kids were doing kickflips on skateboards over (a lot without protection). I asked the mothers who were there if they were worried about their kids being hurt by the glass and why they didn't clean it up and they said it was someone else's responsibility and if their kids got hurt they'd sue to cover the medical.

So there's why: they don't care and it's someone else's responsibility.
