[Re:] Littering

I was reading Gigi's post about littering. My sister and I were talking about it, and this is what we have to say:
       Littering has become a huge issue these days. Most people do not care that it's against the law to litter, and they can be fined for dropping even the smallest bit of trash around. Even if it's a small piece of plastic, it doesn't make it any more right than dropping a huge chip bag like Gigi described.
       At the same time, if young kids are dropping garbage on the ground, it might mean that their parent's haven't even taught them the basic manners to society. It's so easy to simply walk over to a trash can which is no farther than 50 feet away. This just goes to show how lazy people have become.
       While littering is against the law, it also deals with ones moral values. Do people not see a right or wrong in littering? People obviously have less moral values than they used to. This shows how selfish people can be because they are only thinking about themselves and they are too lazy to do the right thing, and they are making it someone else's problem because eventually someone else will have to clean it up.
       This is just an example of a decrease of personal ethics.
