YOUR LITTER DESTROYS PLANET EARTH ~ FOR YOUR CHILDREN !
FRIEND ~ When you sit or stray or take your ease
On Moor or fell or under Spreading Trees !
Pray ~ leave no traces of your wayside meal .......
No plastic bottles - bags or scattered orange peel !
No morning papers littered on the grass
Other may view these with distaste and pass !
And don*t let others say this to your shame
That all was BEAUTY HERE until YOU came !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian ๐งก๐๐งก
This DITTY is based on a Poem posted in the ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT

I share your sentiments 100%. I cannot understand how folk can be so utterly disrespectful of our beautiful planet.
Yes i take mine and other people's litter home.
Thanks for caring *DA* pleased you appreciated the Message. Im biaised because I was born in Lancashire ~ so I think the Lake District is the most beautiful place on Earth ! Angela agrees with me. Our philosophy (litterwise) is the same as yours. When we visit a picnic site (like the one pictured) we always have a Black Bag and spend on hour removing everyones lousy litter. Because the majority of people are still not green the future of Planet Earth is now in real jepardy ! WE haven't got any kids yet (married in 2020 !) but we sometimes wonder what we would be letting them in for ? They would still be alive (touch wood) in 2100 when the Balloon (Planet Earth) really will have gone UP UP UP ! I (BRIAN) will only be 100 (like todays temerature in Essex) in 2083 so I might live to see the worst !
Blessings to YOU & YOURS
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN ๐งก๐๐งก๐
We will be off-line for a few days.
Top marks for this outcry on what is left as litter by the many - - well said and I second this fact to our shame - - - bring back tidy times and enjoy the countryside without any trash........
Thanks FAY for your interesting comment ! Are you implying that before we were born (say 40 years ago) people were more concerned about the environment and too litter home ?
Blessings & Peace & Love

This is a funny, and yet very true piece. I really like the title. Unfortunately, I wish my neighborhood could read your poem. Fortunately, the city is trying to clean it up.
Persistence is key
Thnaks for your comment DION ~ Godliness evokes Cleanliness ~ Most CITIES in my experience could do a DEEP CLEANSING ~ AMEN
Blessings ~ ANGELA & BRIAN

Thanks Uncle Steve ~ If We ever feel the urge to be litter louts we will watch out for FIDOBUS FIDOBI ! We would hate to in~cur his wrath !

To all those that leave their signature trash, as if marking their territory, I say that they should be forced to live in city dumps to realize what impact they leave on all of us.
My object all sublime
I will achieve in time
To make the penalty fit the crime
The penalty fit the crime !
Thanks for sharing SURESH !
Peace & Joy

I've been in cities like NYC where it is dirty and littered, but we don't deal with that in my little town. I feel sorry for people who have to deal with that!
Thanks CHRIS ~ We always say that the Garbage Collectors need respect & a rise ! But also we need to give them less work to do !
Abrazos y Besos a TODOS

I so thoroughly agree with you, there is a sign that I have seen in some areas in Britain which says:
"Take nothing but pictures,
leave nothing but footprints,
kill nothing but time".
Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love your MANTRA We all need to be more vigilant. Also as DA says we need to be prepraed to cean up the whole desecrated site ~ AMEN
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
