Thread: Bit of Karma

I think most roadside fires are started by smokers doing just that. Can't go anywhere without bloody fag butts strewn around.
And I used to be a smoker......
But of course I never did things like that.

walk along a ocean surf beach and look at the bleached cigarette butts that lay in the sand, butts find there way into waterways and end up in the oceans, too bad they were not biodegrateable. Even some of Melbournes bayside beaches have cigerette butts strewn along them.

I think you're right, I live near a free-way and we had a couple of fires in the bush beside it until they put up one of those noise barriers, and we haven't had one since.

Not just started by cigarettes, although these are more common - had one or two around here almost certainly from cars pulling off the bitumen onto the grass for a few minutes to make a phone call, and then driving off unaware that their catalytic converter has started the grass smouldering.
