Coffee Cups and Cigarette Buts

Why is it, that everywhere you look? This is the repeditive garbage that’s in the ditch, on the road, sidewalks, in front of buildings. Pathways on nature walks! The coffee cups are not only creating the garbage, they are of course using up our recourses of trees for paper cups and oil for Styrofoam. The coffee is hot so a layer of bubbly plastic is wrapped around the cup so you don’t burn yourself, or put an extra wrapper of puffy paper, or better yet give you two cups. America uses enough disposable coffee cups in a year if placed end to end could wrap around the earth 55 times and would weigh 900 million pounds, so use your reusable mug.
Now rules have been set, no more smoking in the work place. Glad that happened. But that chased everyone out side in front of the doorways. I guess now we can see who smokes. Just wish they would throw their buts in a proper disposal not on the ground and out the window of a vehicle. Smoking is the number one killer in the US. It is stated that 800,000 people die a year of smoke related illnesses.
