And that is what we should do too.





What irks me is there is a fine for littering but does anyone ever get bloody fined?

They do here caskur..



A young electrician who works with my husband got a substantial fine for throwing a cigarette butt out of the window of his truck.

It amazes me that we've had this for decades now...and it WORKS. All reviews and studies have clearly established that much of our drink container waste is recycle. But other States just ignore it. Too hard. Too expensive. Manufacturers will cry.



Bollocks.



Too LAZY. Yet they'll ban plastic shopping bags that at least can be re-used.



Idiots.

That's a different level of littering. You'd get fined thousands here.

Yeah but NOBODY gets caught to fine... It's only a threat. It cannot be policed.

Know what I mean?

There's a belief Calgary police are on quota..



If that's true, it wouldn't surprise me they are writing tickets for littering.

During bushfire season, extra patrols are deployed in known danger zones. If they see a butt being flicked, the offender is going to pay BIG.
