I usually don’t throw garbage out the window of a car but banana peels are the one exception I’ve made in the past… Someone had convinced me that it was ok since they are biodegradable but now that I think about it, a lot of things are biodegradable…

So, I’m guessing the answer is yes but I’d just like to verify…

Throwing banana peels out the window of a car, on the ground, or someplace public other than a trash can is littering, correct?

Okay, so I bought a Pur water filter pitcher so that I would stop buying so much bottled water, with the intention to be more environmentally friendly.

The time just came to replace the cartridge for the first time. What do I with the old cartridge? Can it be recycled at all? I don’t like thorwing things in the trash if I don’t have to.

OK, I am really into the environment and I am always thinking of ways to clean it up. So how about this little gem of an idea: Stop using the toilet.

The toilet is an environmental disaster: All that water wasted and toilet paper not to mention all the poop and pee. The solution: Pee in the sink or outside, and poop in fast food bags you would just throw away anyway, and then put the bags in the trash.

I know this would work, but do you think the average American could handle it? Do you think we care enough?

Forget the term "global warming" and everything circling it. Do you believe there is a problem with the amount of trash we produce? Do you believe there is a problem with the amount of pollution we produce?

Please follow my rules or you will be ignored (at least by me):
1. No speak of Al Gore.
2. Do not insult others.
3. Please only reply with whether you believe there is a problem; or if you think there is no problem.

I’m looking for a job where i could find out ways to make biodegradable trash or something else that directly affects pollution. I’d like to make a difference but preferably directly stopping pollution. Any suggestions?
