Do you ever litter?
It basically means throw trash on the ground, in case anyone is confused. And do you only do it from cars or only in certain areas? And what do you litter most often?

@SweetMae the thing that really irks me about all this environmentalist/go green/hippie crap, etc. is that just 25-30 years ago, we were drinking real water, drinking milk/soda, etc. from glass bottles, buying products in paper/cardboard containers (glass and paper of course being environmentally friendly). And honestly, I preferred milk/drinks in glass bottles.
Then suddenly everyone starts talking about plastic, how it's the great new thing that will make like easier, so the entire industry shifts to plastic.
But when it becomes a problem, suddenly it's our responsibility to clean up after them, even when we're given no alternative (let alone a cheaper, more practical one like we had before).
In other words, I don't drink bottled water (I prefer natural, healthy spring water), I'd rather have milk/drinks in a glass bottle, products wrapped in paper instead of plastic; but the industry/government/society that pushed plastics into my daily life is going to lecture me about pollution/littering/recycling?
Hypocrisy and double standards...

@SweetMae more irony there too... most of these movements/activist groups, etc. only accomplish the exact opposite of what they claim to support/advocate...
they only create more tension, resentment, hate, etc. to the point that their opposition is just all the more likely to contradict them just to spite them.
much like the issues around prejudice & bigotry, we were doing fine in the 80's & 90's; then after the turn of the century, biased media and groups like BLM drive us backwards to 50's-60's era racial relations... as if the civil rights movement never happened.
