User ID: 20053617  United States11/28/2012 02:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The point was she did it for the wrong reason. I guarantee she had no intention on it being used for animals, birds, in protest, etc. She did it because she is lazy and didn't want to throw it away. but I do find the whole thing ironic. Man chugging along in his vehicle that pollutes the earth is telling the woman to pick up a biodegradable food biproduct that was once part of the earth and would do it no harm.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10363614 Throwing it on the street is wrong but tossing it in the bushes is not. No one wants to smell your banana peel rotting for days. Nor do we want the gnats and flies it will draw. Use the proper trash recptacle or take it home to compost. |

By the way if you've put a hot or warm one in a designated trash can attempting to dispose of it properly they can probably write you up for a couple hundred dollars for creating a fire risk. |

I drive on the right side and smell what's in my environment. You fools think a banana peel will bio-degrade in the middle of the street? It will mold and breed flies and probably get kicked up into the undercarriage of some car. We NEED a police state like Singapore if you people can't be educated. Throwing banana peels in city streets...ffs. |

And if it were compost, you don't want it under a bush. It gets hot enough to catch fire. LOL! All these fools need to be made to go pick up rotting fruit and vegetable matter for a day. Then some organic farmer/gardener can teach them how he disposes of his plant waste and how he wants them to always use the proper trash receptacles. Pity our cops have to be kindergarten teachers for teenagers. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28650648 United States11/28/2012 03:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If it was in the woods or at least on the patch of grass close to the woods off the road, I think that is ok. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25601325 It is not. If she was in the woods she should carry it out with her. That's environmentally correct. If she throws it on a patch of grass, it will mold and draw flies and gnats. Flies will lay eggs (maggots) and breed baby flies. Mold is toxic to birds and small animals. It blows up into the wind and can give people walking by an asthma attack. The banana peel will look and smell gross breeding vermin and causing disease until some city employee picks it up, if it does actually compost, it will kill the grass under it, leaving a brown spot. Water will stand there, mosquitos will come, and some nature lover will get west nile virus. But mostly, if the lazy chick flings her fruit waste out the window, some city employee has to pick up after her. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 9943244 United States11/28/2012 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Banana peels are easily biodegradable. And litter bugs are annoying, but freedom isn't free. You need to try to educate and encourage people not to litter, but this sort of draconian enforcement is too much (the cure is worse than the disease). Cops need to concentrate less on litterers and jaywalkers and more on burglars, muggers, etc. |

The same reason anybody puts their foot down, so something like this doesn't happen again. Because ignorance can't happen again. He'll pull another person over for throwing an apple core, or a peach core out the window. And he might think it's a smoke bomb, or infact he'll feel that he's protecting America from people educated enough to realize that nature + nature = balance. Rather than nature + plastic = unbalanced. It's not even science, it's plan mathematics. The cop has to have a very low IQ to pull a stunt like this. |
