As a groundskeeper on a university campus it was my job to pick garbage up that was on the ground, sidewalks and flower beds in my area. The vast majority of the garbage I had to tidy up was cigarette related: butts, cardboard boxes, foil and cellophane.
I used to have a hippy housemate and he was really into environmentalism, planting trees, car pooling, recycling, using as few resources as possible. He was good at it. But he smoked and would flick his cig butts on the ground.
I said something and he was flabbergasted that never realized it was polluting. He said he literally never thought twice about it.
