hi all,
got myself into an argument with a tosser yesterday and it pi$$ed me off so much. anyway, i was having a picnic on a river bank of a regional town with the family, and i got up, and put our apple peels and banana skins in the bushes and kicked leaves and dirt over them.
some idiot had a go at me and said i was littering. i said no and followed on that i was composting. he said it was a public park and that i had to put my rubbish in the bins. i said i would put my paper/plastic in the bins but put the organic waste in the ground. he continued that i was littering and making a mess and went on and started to swear etc. All of this in front of my kid.
at home, we have a small compost bin in the kitchen which we put the same material in and then we bury that in the garden. i have taught my young son to do the same and he does it. now this idiot yesterday was yelling and swearing at me for doing it in a public place.
in the end, i relented and picked it up and put it in the bin. just to quieten this guy down but in the same process, i felt that i had to back down (in front of my son) and that annoyed me as i still think i was in the right
so am i littering?
thanks
