And this is why they continue to do it. You get a response of indignation when you order random strangers in a free society how to behave. You'll get better results if you use guilt instead of demands.
- vbuwivbiu 8y agono it's not - they do it because nobody says anything. If you do nothing you're implicitly accepting their behavior
- jorgesborges 8y agoThe way you say something is important though. Say something, but don't scold another adult like a child and tell them what to do. Your strategy is way less likely to be successful and may even instigate physical confrontation. Ask them how it's different from littering. It's probably an unconscious habit. Tell them it upsets you personally and that it's harmful to the environment.
- vbuwivbiu 8y agoI guess one could say something neutral like "litter" or "pollution" i.e. only label the problem without passing judgement
