An empty “love nature” coffee cup shoved into a stone wall in the park, next to a beautiful flower arrangement. The trash can wasn’t far away.

A good photo for the prompt. The can was definitely in the wrong place.

Some people will drop litter whether there’s a bin in sight or not. It’s infuriating – and somehow almost a rebellion against rules, or just conforming. It’s hard to put into words how angry these people make me.

Same here! I don’t get how lazy people can be. I also hate it when people throw stuff (like cigarettes) into the sea. Happens all the time, the sea must be full of them, poor fish (and poor us)!

It’s a sad sign of the times – disrespect for others, wildlife and the environment in general. This is a real sore point with me. Mind you, I suppose there have always been people like that. It’s probably just the huge world population that make these issues seem so much worse.Perhaps.

Maybe future generations will just stay at home with their wifi all day long and public places (and what’s left of the environment) will be spared the littering? 😀 Hahah. Who knows…

You know, you just might be right with that prediction. Thank you for the Sunday night giggle. 🙂

Wow. This is very effective. Should reach somebody in charge (even though we are all in charge of our own actions).

Thanks for sharing it! 🙂 It was just too ironic to ignore.

Interesting! The coffee drinker probably enjoyed nature while sipping the beverage! It clearly didn’t register that one has to be part of the solution in order to avoid looking a trash in the world.

Exactly. Didn’t he/she even notice the ironic print (a reminder?) while shoving it in that tiny space in the wall..?

Thank you for your post – I was once 4 days into a week-long tramp deep in the Southern Alps. 4 days of pristine scenery, beautiful wildlife and voracious sandflys; when I stumbled across a pair of rubber kitchen gloves? Go figure! It has always stayed with me and I am now well aware of man’s singular determination to advertise his presence everywhere.

Well that would definitely ruin the scenery. I wonder how many years (decades…) it would take for those gloves to decompose…

Weird, huh? It’s both cynical and ironic. Was it some black form of humour? Given that the audience would be people who are already on board with the loving nature concept.

True, it could be left on purpose… that would be quite cynical, as you said! My initial reaction was that it was just discarded, abandoned without thought. But you’ve just made me think of a very sinister individual with a dark sense of humor…! :O (It could have been a teenager as well, not meaning anything at all by it. Or anyone, really!)
