Re: Got A Ticket For Littering
I like your idea! I wonder if they'd let me thru security with a leaf bag full of trash?
Anyway, this is something I do often, rake up trash. I am not flauting the laws here in Hawaii!! Search my previous posts, I know I made mention of it a couple times. Maybe it could cancel out the fine, but the part that actually makes a difference is that I do cleanups all the time. Anytime there's a beach cleanup here around Kailua, I'm there - walking at the crack of dawn for the simple reason that somebody has to clean things up - with my hand rake and a leaf bag ,checking out the sunrise, being peaceful, its good for me and my environment, the benefits to my health and surroundings are a great motivator, and if people want to organize and do it, I want to hang out with them. And I'm no slouch at picking up trash anywhere, anytime. I couldn't even begin to tell y'all how many plastic cups I picked up from all over Chinatown on Halloween night!
Since I got my ticket I'm even more motivated to clean up those 'seas of cigarette butts' that we see on medians and near storm drains!! I sincerely notice them now more than ever, and it always makes me sad, and I think..."just 2 minutes with a broom and a dustpan...".
Seriously, Amati, it would only take me an hour to clean out enough 'cig patches' to fill five leaf bags, if I used a rake and shovel and hit all the places that we see garbage, here on the Windward side. Its all so unfortunate.
I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
