Hey you! Yea, you on 35th Street who casually dropped your napkins. And you, Mr. Crush-your-can-and-leave-it-on-the-subway-guy!
Do you know what you’re actually doing?
Did you know…
“Litter can end up in rivers and canals, polluting the water supply.”
“Paper cups and beverage cans can hold rainwater, providing breeding locations for mosquitoes - which have been known to cause disease like the West Nile Virus.”
“It is also a road hazard and can occasionally contribute to accidents.”
(source: Answers.com)
This is New York City, man. Manhattan, The Big Apple.
No one wants to see it littered with a bunch of garbage.
FYI – your careless act of indifference did not go unnoticed. I am silently (ok, maybe not so silently) waiting for karma (the environment’s super BFF) to do its thing.
Should you slip and fall by way of a discarded banana peel, or forget to mind the gap on the train and stub your toe… this will be natures way of saying “right back atcha”.
Does littering make you just as mad? Help out by answering these Littering questions on WikiAnswers, and let’s spread the message that it is not ok!

Happy Earth Day to you! And to me! …and to all the inhabitants of our lovely planet. In celebration of this special day, WikiAnswers encourages you to ask and answer questions about the environment.
What is everyone else wondering about? Well…
Haven’t YOU always wondered how plants detect their level of gravity? It’s a question that’s plagued me for years.
And what I’ve ALWAYS wanted to know…how far north can palm trees be grown? I’ve been thinking about planting some on my ranch in Alaska…

We’re thinking of getting a car, so this one caught my eye:
What is 2 x 2?
Well, duh, it’s a smaller model of a 4 x 4. Personally I’d go for a four-door sedan or some kind of hybrid vehicle; I hate the idea of hurting the environment. Then again, if a 2 x 2 is half the size of a 4 x 4, I guess it will burn fuel more efficiently, right?
