Stop Littering

 

不要乱扔垃圾

 

 

The only thing I hate more than wasteful¹ people are litterbugs.

 

Litterbugs are my least favorite bug², and there are more than you'd think. If you've ever thrown even one piece of gum, paper, candy wrapper, cigarette butt³, etc on the ground,you're a disgusting litterbug, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

There are over 7 billion people in the world –if each person only throws one "innocent"piece of garbage on the ground, that's 7 billion pieces of garbage littering a world in which nobody "did it".

 

Your one decision makes a huge difference, and I will not allow you to blow it off and walk around with your head held high.

 

You're a litterbug, and it needs tostop immediately. You don't get a life hack⁴ for this one, you filthy⁵ animal. Just stop –you already know how。
