bike commuting every day I am exposed to a lot of litter, from my perspective the vastly most common litter is drink containers, coffee cups in the winter, soda cups in the summer, there is really no contest, it's by far the largest amount. Plastic bags are next, then those disposable flossing plastic U-shaped things, and then all sorts of other things.
I so wish that 7-11, starbucks etc. charged $5 deposit for every drink container they sell, ah one can always dream...
- Retric 10y agoThose stick around for a long time. Toss an apple and it's quickly dirt inside a week or two, toss the bag it came in and that's still mostly intact in 6 months.
- bluGill 10y agoWould you have said the same 30 years ago? Smoking used to be much more common - at least in places where I've lived. As smokers have quit the number of butts they have dropped have gone down. My impression is smokers in general are more likely to drop their used butts, but since there are so few of them you don't see much.
