being environmentally aware

Last night I left the city quite late after finishing some shopping. I waited patiently for the bus at a different bus stop to my usual one. There was young guy smoking a couple of meters from everyone else. He finished his cigarette, extinguished it under his shoe and left it on the ground. A few minutes passed and his bus came he took a step towards it as he did the older woman next to me touched him lightly on the arm. She asked him if he was going to pick up his cigarette butt. He replied 'no there are a few 1000 others down there why don't you pick them up?' Then he walked away onto his bus.

I'm not a smoker nor am i an Eco warrior however I am environmentally aware and do try to make my footprint smaller, support environmental causes and dispose of my waste thoughtfully. Imagine if that guy was environmentally aware and had picked up his cigarette butt, imagine if everyone was environmentally aware of their actions? The world might be in better shape.

The morale of this blog is to be environmentally aware of your actions however small they may be. Think about it.
