Why we should not littler

So, I was informed the other day that I was a hippie republican, but, in my opinion, that contradicts itself. This same above mentioned person said that I wanted to cut down all the trees and pour concrete in there place, and the funny thing is, he doesn't even know that I'm a concrete princess!!

I don't consider myself a hippie by any means, (even though my mom told me I should move to Alaska and live on some dog training farm for 4 months because they recycle everything, and when she says everything, she means everything.....) With the exception of when I lived in my car in Australia, I shower everyday and shave my legs, thus knocking me out of the hippie genre. I just like to say that I am environmentally friendly. With saying that, I would like to urge each and everyone of you not to litter.

A little timeout in my argument to make note of the relavent fact that I love to rebel against wearing shoes. I didn't say that I don't love buying shoes, I just prefer to go barefoot whenever it's appropriate or in many case, possibly not appropriate.

Back to my tidbit, I believe if we didn't litter we could get away with not wearing shoes in public. The thing is, since there is so much litter on the ground, we have to be very aware of what's ahead of us that could cause danger to a barefoot person, like glass or paper (paper cuts in feet hurt)

If we took the extra 7.3 seconds to throw our stuff in a garbage can, or more ideally, recycle our goods, and not toss it on the ground, the sidewalks and streets would be so much tidier, thus the need to walk with your head down in search of little pieces of glass would be cut in half.

Also, if we didn't litter, and we didn't have to wear shoes, then there wouldn't be child labor factories in bangladesh paying children $1.00 a week to make shoes that in turn get sold for $100.

You see, there are benefits to not littering, besides the obvious. So, please, I'm begging you, don't litter because I want to be able to walk down the street barefoot and not have to worry about cutting my foot, because we all know that if I cut my foot and see blood my vasovego syncope might set in.

Wouldn't the world be such a better place. if we didn't have to wear shoes?

Now, once we conquer the not littering, we have to try to work on those spittiers.....
