11. It always struck me as trivializing pollution...

...by equating it to littering.

If I toss a plastic bottle or an aluminum can in the woods someplace, it's not harming the environment one iota. There are good reasons not to litter, but the environment is not in the shape it is in on account of people throwing trash out of car windows.

Litter is unsightly and wasteful, but this is like telling people to fight global warming by holding in their farts.
