Littering a Big problem here...

This afternoon when I and suparna were going to the Department to sign, a fellow was handing out a flyer to all the passersby along the road. And we were just talking about the way people are littering everywhere in the campus. Suparna was teasing me the way i was carrying the biscuit wrapper with me all the way through till i got to the department dustbin and threw it there. Since childhood, we have been taught at school, at home to keep our surroundings clean, but i guess people out here are too educated and too fed with knowledge that they haven't leave room in their mind to be mindful of their civic senses..... Yeah, so this fellow was distributing about hundreds of this piece of paper and that time i didn't observe or realise the next thing people did after taking the flyer. In the evening, when I was walking by to Dr. C Jacob's place for EU committee meeting, i saw those flyers all scattered here and there in the road and along the roadside. I started counting those papers and you wud be surprise to know that I could count 98, but there were much more than that. I was just thinking why people can't carry a single piece of paper till their respective halls and throw it in the first waste basket they get hold of? Is that so much trouble??? I guess not. Well, the fact remains that there is a shortage of dustbins in the campus however not so that there are none. Should I call this ignorance or irresponsibility?? i dont know. Its a shame to see highly educated people being careless enough to litter here and there. Where are all our civic senses gone?? We do such things and complain that there are no people to clean up the rubbish lying everywhere giving an ugly and unpleasant sight. It cost nothing to be conscious of our acts in keeping our environment clean, green and safe.....
