Okay, some pet peeves here. First, it drives me NUTS when people leave shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot. Either the carts roll and ding someone's car or someone hits them. WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE CONSIDERATE? It is part of the American mentality — once you have fulfilled your need, the heck with everything else, including your fellow humans. It's the "all about my convenience" attitude.
Second, it drives me CRAZY when people will waste a tank of gas trying to get a parking spot a few spaces closer to the store. They go up and down the rows, they idle and wait for another car to pull out, and they just sit there WASTING GAS. Come on, don't you realize that walking those few extra steps is actually GOOD for you? I mean, it might be your only exercise for the week. Please! Just park your car in the back and WALK to the store. Honest, it won't kill you.
Okay, enough pet peeves for now. The point is that people should be more thoughtful and more willing to get out of their cars and WALK (frightening concept for an American). And I won't even mention those sweet mothers who throw dirty diapers out in the parking lot — that is definitely for a later post.

We live on a blue marble flying through space. I'm surprised at how many people forget that. Our species and ecosystem are fragile, yet we are systematically destroying it instead of protecting it. This blog is dedicated to environmentalism and sustainability
