It may only take one to stuff it up for us all

Good on you Cruiser74 for following them up.
And less so, good that they came back, once reminded, and did tidy up.
People that throw everything in the fire (wads plastic, aluminium cans etc) annoy me too, leaving a big pile of mostly unburnt rubbish...

Yep,its not just the morons - I think there's a whole generation coming through who leave their rubbish because there's "someone else who's job it is to clean it up".

Just to put a different perspective on the "generations" thing

past generations were far worse at littering the bush than these days

trps out bush will confirm this as at old campsites its pretty obvious nothing was taken out.
Only thing is now we consider them attractions such as old sandlewood cutters camps with thier piles of bottles and tabacco tins as well as other assorted junk

as for today

i dont even ask why anymore

alot of people dont care - you cant explain it to them because they dont care.

we were on our way to the airport and an olive python was crossing the road and the driver just ran it over

I asked what the heck and the other people in the car including the driver looked at me as if i was stupid

- what was MY problem? it was on the road what did i expect them to do stop? go around it? (both were easy to do speed limmit is low and road is long and straight)

Spot on getoutmore.

Our early pioneers did the same thing.

I have done a bit of prospecting around mt magnet. It's amazing when you are a number of kilometres offroad, in bush that appears never to have seen a car, you find a nice spot, the detector goes off, you dig for a few minutes, and you came across on old fire pit with cans and horse shoes.....two feet down. I spent more time digging up old fire pits then anything else.

I recall seeing a pic on this forum about a huge load of rubbish left at a bin up the cape.....how hard can it be to take it with you especially in a bag on your rear tyres ?

BW.

Try digging 4- 6 inches under the lovely green couch grass at Middle Rocks/Champagne Pools on Fraser Is and you will find a massive rubbish tip from the burn, bash and bury days.

On a recent trip, the tread on my tyre decided that it wanted to leave the rest of the wheel. After changing the wheel, my 11year old son was trying to put the thrown off tread in the back of the car. He did not want to leave it on the side of the road, not that I was going to.
Not wanting it in the car, I put it on the roof rack and dropped it off later in a large enough bin.










Such a tiresome, difficult chore. Should have left it on the side of the road where everybody else does.
(sarcasm for those who could not hear the tone in my voice.)

Hi all,

For those that feel strongly about this please sign up with the Keep Australia Beautiful's Litter reporter scheme. I am going to re-post this as a new thread as well. To get involved click on this link:

http://www.kabc.wa.gov.au/litter-reporting/litter-reporter-registration.html

Basically once you sign up you get a pack delivered with about 10 post card size cards to fill out should you see someone littering, flicking a ciggie butt out of a car etc etc. If you see someone throwing
litter from a car, take note of the:
vehicle registration;
make and model of the vehicle
time and place that the offence was committed; and
provide a description of the litter that was dropped.
The completed card can be mailed to the KABC office
without stamp or envelope. The information you provide
will normally result in the issue of an infringement
notice to the offender. You may, on rare ocasions,
be required to attend a Magistrate’s court to provide
evidence should the offence be disputed.

I keep these handy in my car and have used them a couple of times especially when d***heads throw ciggie butts out of their car. This enrages me and it's good to be able to actually do something about it. I have a close friend in the fire department and he said that 80% of all bushfires attended to are because of careless disposal of ciggie butts. He sees the destruction first hand of flora and fauna and even on occasions people's homes and lives.

Thanks

Craig
