Sadly, I am a smoker. I try very hard to not litter. I've even been known to put the butts in my pocket rather than toss them on the ground. However, I'm not perfect (no comments from the peanut gallery, please) and I have on very rare occasions tossed the butt and felt guilty every time I did it. Sometimes there just isn't a reasonable place to put it (yeah, I know, wait to light up until I can get rid of it).

It would be nice if those in carts would put one of ashtrays in their cart -- they cost a whopping $1.00. The other day I actually chased a guy down who tossed his butt and it landed in my cart! We won't discuss that "discussion" other than to say I did not react like a lady and he had no doubt that I was an Army brat.

However, I wish butts were the only trash I see. I've seen cans, wrappers, bags, etc. Sadly, TVers don't seem to be much better about not littering than any other community. The plus here is that the trash is quickly picked up so that it rarely becomes an eyesore.

So, this is my mea culpa and my promise to do better and toss even less butts than I have in the past.
