Don't flick your butts, dude.

Back in college, I had a patchouli stinking hippie aquaintance of mine that was way into the environment. He always let us know about the terrible things we were doing to the earth. A quick list of the things we were subjected to:

• Cut up your six pack rings so animals don't get caught in them
• Don't eat tuna because they kill dolphins in the process
• Don't eat at taco bell because they use South American beef, which destroys the rainforest
• Only buy CD's in paper packaging

It's not that these things were not good ideas, it was the way he said them. He said them in a condescending/ real Debbie Downer kind of way.
But the thing that bugged me the most was that he threw his cigarette butts wherever the hell he wanted. This hypocrisy was justified, in his mind, because he smoked Camels, and Camels he said, "had a biodegradable filter made of cotton."

I never really gave a crap enough to actually call him out on this. It was only years later that I found out that they are made from plastic.

I had a pack of Camel filters sitting on a table next to an open bottle of nail polish remover. The bottle got spilled on my smokes, and the filters dissolved into a disgusting goo. Cotton filters wouldn't do that.
Camel Filters are made of plastic! Take THAT you stinkin' hippie!

I think he lives here now.
