It grates on my nerves
when humans drop litter
on a street where
there was none.
It isn’t great to show
that lack of respect.

I live near Lake Tahoe. Tourists use it like it’s a trash can. It makes us sad. We carry trash bags with us wherever we go and try to take something out with us when we go. Closer to home there is a drive in a beautiful canyon that is littered with bottles and cans and fast food bags because people can’t be bothered to keep their trash once they’re done with it and just toss it out the car window. One of the worst traits in human beings, I’m afraid.

It is, I was brought up the same. My mum would never let me drop litter.

I was taught to put whatever it was in my pocket until there is a bin.

Yes, that’s the right thing to do. Perhaps people don’t teach that to their children anymore.
