i was walking between classes, and the guy in front of me was peeling an orange. he kept throwing the pieces of peel onto the ground as he walked, and i actually said something to him. something to the effect of "you know, someone has to pick those up. they don't biodegrade for months." he said sorry and walked toward the library. i bet he doesnt care. i read once about orange peels left on the ground... i dont remember the figures but they last for a really long time. they get all leathery and nasty. you've probably seen them. i wonder if i said something as a result of making elementary kids pick up their food trash every day, cleaning up after people at in-n-out for three years, or the influence of the environmental warriors at ben's house. hm...
