DEFINE THESE ACT OF LITTERING DROP WITH INTENT: FLAGRANT FINGER: INCH AWAY: FOUL SHOOTERS: WEDGERS: SWEEPERS:
DROP WITH INTENT- the person subtly dropped the item on the ground, but with notable intent to litter. We dubbed this group Dirty Droppers FLAGRANT FINGERS- blatant littering of objects out in the open without attempt to conceal their actions.
INCH AWAY- inchers place their litter beside them and slowly inch away from it until they no longer be identified as the litterer. FOUL SHOOTERS-aim to discard their item in a receptacle, but after missing leave the object on the ground. WEDGERS-are individuals who stuff disposable objects into small spaces where they will not be seen. SWEEPERS- collect their litter by brushing it off a flat surface into their hand or a bag, but in a process drop item on the ground.
Some strategies are that you can move the trashcan closer that way you wont get that lazy to get up and throw away your thrash. You can also hold on to your rapper/trash/ect. Until you see the nearest trashcan.
