ARE YOU A GREEN PAIN?

I don't know what goes on in your mind when you see drivers and/or passangers - especially those of sleek car models open the windows of the cars they are travelling in and throw a non-biodegradable plastic bag(s) or cup onto the tarmac. I usually find myself grinding my teeth in disgust!

Perhaps that's because I was taught not to step on the grass unless there's no other path to walk on (I can see you raising your eye brows). Yet my opinion is that if you can afford a nice big car then you should be in a better position (I presume) to ensure that your "high life" is accompanied by some good environmental etiquette. You shouldn't for instance use fuels that pollute the air. You should also not litter the earth with chewed gum, plastic containers and old wheels. In other words stop being a green pain, leave such mannerisms to those who can't afford to know better. At least people will understand (I think this is a very lame excuse) that those who are poor spend more time trying to survive that they cannot be bothered about using the "correct fuel".

Polish your green manners.....please!
