A litter-free win for me, but the same can't be said for the town of Babylon, NY.

The Town of Babylon's "Operation Clean" campaign was launched with an ad showing a serial litterer getting some "karma" in the form of a garbage truck dumping its load on his lawn.

"We want to show people that if you are littering, you're doing something totally irresponsible and immature," Schaffer said.

The town said first-time offenders can face a fine of up to $1,000 for littering.

Why do people litter? With a heavy fine like that, you'd think it would be a powerful enough disincentive, but how many people actually get caught and fined?

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

TRUE STORY TIME!

A few years ago, I saw some idiot actually clean out his car on the side of the road (made me worry about his house but I digress). Anyway, I followed him until I realized "What am I going to do if he stops?" So I quit following him.

Another time, I was sitting on my sofa looking out across my front yard and some teenager came by and threw a plastic cup in my yard. I jumped off the sofa and ran out the front door and chased him down and said "What are you doing? I know you live on this street. Here's what you do, you take your cup and you THROW IT IN YOUR OWN TRASHCAN." Then I made him come back and pick up the cup too, and I watched him walk into his house with it. Sheeze!

When I first moved into my house, it had been empty for a few months. Apparently that made many of the dog owners think my yard was a public dog bathroom that they did not need to clean up. I made a few clean it up when I saw them and made it known if I find anymore dog doo in my youth yard they would find the pile deposited on their from porch..... have not had that problem in a while now

I had a friend I was driving around that threw garbage out the window. I got mad, and stopped. Made her go get it. Told her to put it on the floor with the rest of the trash. The car was obviously a pig sty, but we have no reason to make a mess of the planet.

I never could understand it myself. It's not that difficult to find a suitable receptacle to deposit one's trash. People who are traveling can wait until they get to a rest area, gas station, etc. Public parks generally have trash cans placed in various locations. I can see that, in some occasions, it might be unintentional, but most of the time, it just seems like people just don't care.
