Today in the drive thru at Tim Hortons on Ouellette I was in line behind a large black truck. The driver took his coffee and bag at the drive thru window and then, as he was driving away, tossed an empty Tim Hortons cup and used napkins out of his truck window. There was not a garbage can anywhere near when he tossed the rubbish.

Now, I know 99% of us wouldn't litter. It seems more and more lately driving around the city I see people tossing things out of their car window. Not cigarette butts - substantial trash. How much must a person hate their city to treat it as their trash can? How about common courtesy for fellow motorists? Keep a bag in the car and unlike the person I saw the other day who emptied their bag out of their window on Tecumseh Rd, empty into a proper trash receptacle?

If we want where we live to be a great place, we should treat it like a great place.
