Throwing trash out of the window of your car when driving through an inner city neighborhood should result in a fine equal to the difference between the new price of your car & the average income of the neighborhood. Also, 40 hours of community service picking trash along the road where you littered. For each year since the crime without the service being met the fine will double. No exceptions on this clock for appeals, legal stuff. Trash pickup duty will be live-streamed to amuse the public .

@futurebird I will support this if you will drop "inner city" as a specifier.People who drop garbage in nature are not in any way better.And damn would I love seeing someone stuck picking up litter in a place with no phone coverage.Most of these self-centered assholes would be in physical pain from the FOMO.

The primary source of sidewalk trash tends to come from sidewalks trash cans not being emptied frequently enough due to budget cuts to sanitation. Littering is pretty rare. But, about half of it comes from motorists. Including a pile of sunflower seed shells this jerk just dumped at my feet right in front of my bus stop. I’m allergic to sunflowers and my eyes are itching and I’m thinking up increasingly mean laws by the second.

Mr. Beast could host the livestream I don’t even care anymore. If politics will be a circus let’s make it a good one.

@futurebird I strongly dislike people who dump garbage out like that.They're making the world worse.If people do that, we can't be friends.

@futurebird This is a major problem in my small PA city area. We have people tossing trash and cigarettes butts out the window all over. Plus we have the folks who either toss trash in bed of their pickup and have it blow out while driving. Also there are the folk who kick the trash out of their carwhen getting out. And then the people who refuse to pay the trash fee and just dump it along the side of the roads.So your solution sounds appealing.#trash #dumping

@futurebird Do not care for the fine or public shaming ideas but the idea of forcing litterers to pickup trash is a good idea.And should be anywhere they litter. Toss litter out in the inner city spend your weekends on a detail picking up trash in the same area. Same thing if you toss it out on a rural road or a highway. Luckily for you you get to wear your own clothing and are monitored by a cell phone app for compliance. For a few pieces maybe 2 weekends, and more weekends if you dump larger amounts.Second or more violations or large trash dumps result in multiple weekend lockups with your service in jail issued clothing with a guard taking you to the site and watching you work.

@futurebird when I lived off a busy street in what people called the "bad" part of town* people driving through would just throw their trash out their windows constantly. Entire fast food bags, cigarette butts, whatever. I spent *so much time* picking up trash in and around my yard *There are no actual bad parts of town here, it is just the corridor where most of the ethnic restaurants are

@futurebird TWW: In the darkness you can find a path toward the vision of light and hope that draws us forward. *When we moved to the city it was to the “CD”. On Sunday early morning D would roust us up and drive around while we filled bags of trash from gutters and sidewalks. I was not happy to be forced labor but knew better than to complain. Shur’nuff after a few weeks there were other groups and then more community efforts. We learned to Show others a better Path. Peace. OWOP

@futurebird I always see people throwing cigarette butts out. Makes me so angry. They don't degrade quickly, and they're harmful to wildlife.People think a butt here and there is no big deal, but it's incredible how many are on the side of EVERY street.
