Results | Messages
Hi Im Candice.I am 29,divorced and have a 9 year old daughter.My daughter and I are usualy very busy,and somtimes we dont take the time to find proper places for our grabage.I was wondering what other people think,and if its ok for my daughter and I to do what we please with our garbage.Sorry its a bit long
When my daughter is eating in the car and she is done, she asks me to put the window down so she can throw her empty bags out.Is this acceptable?
Yes
No
Depends where you are
What should I have told her to do?
Hold on to them
Drop them on the floor of the car
Toss them out the window
Wait until we stop to drop them on the ground
My daughter and I are eating Mcd's on the go.I am late for my meeting, and we finish eating on the sidewalk.There is heavy trafic and the only garbage can is on the other side of the road.What should we do?
Risk dying and try to cross to make it to the can
Carry the two or three bags to my office
Just drop the bags on the sidewalk and keep going
Tell my daughter to throw her bags in the bushes
My daughter and I are having a picknic in a park.After we are done we have a LOT of trash.There are a couple of cans,but all of them are broken beyond the point of holding anything.We just picked up and left the trash behind.Was that ok?
Yes
No
Hell yea,way to go!
Well there werent any cans...
What should we have done?
Exactly what you did,left it behind
Found a bush to throw it all on
Found a pond or river and dumped the trash in it
Taken it with you(even though there was a LOT)
Somtimes my girlfriends and our daughters,and thier sons,go hiking along wilderness trails.We always plan ahead and bring bottled refreshments and bagged lunches.When we are done eating we usualy drop all of our garbage along the trail.Is that bad?
No
Yes
You are in the wild,hello!What else can you do
Should we have done somthing different?
No you did the right thing by dropping it
You should have thrown it into the woods
You should have carried it
other(leave comment to tell me what)
We go fishing every so often,only because i like the quiet.And we always bring candybars and soda with us.Somtimes my daughter askes me what to do with the trash.I tell her to just leave it on the ground.What should she have done?

There is a hill behind our house called Dump Hill. Everthing gets thrown down the hill.Refrigerators,vaccums,garbage,ect.We have also added to the hill by throwing large garbage bags down it.Is that okay?
Its called 'Dump Hill',Duh!
That was wrong
A hill you can dump things down,Cooool
I taught my daughter to litter at a baseball game.She was 4.We were eating hotdogs that were in napkins,while we were on the bleachers.She asked me what to with the napkin.I replied by dropping my napkin and saying "oops!I dropped it".She smiled at me and did the same.Was it wrong of me to teach her?
No
Yes
Nope its cool
I think you are a good mother for letting her
Are you male or female or other?
Male
Female
other
What is your favorite excuse for when you litter?
I accidentaly dropped it.
Oops, oh well.
No one will see it.
This place already has tons of litter.
It's too heavy,and i dont want to look for a can.
One time we where near a river and were drinking sobe. After my daughter finished she got ready to smash the bottle on a rock, I told her not to.She wanted to know why.I told her that she could litter anything she wanted, but she couldnt smash glass because it was dangerous.She replied by saying awww but I dont feel like carrying it,ok I guess I will.I said no no no and tossed my bottle into the river.She laughed and did the same.We then threw the rest of our wrappers on the ground and left giggling.
Good idea
Way to go
You should have smashed it anyway
Big no no
