Crystal Crescent is a mess. there was a provincial employee tonight tidying up the parking lot as best she could despite the fact that I don’t think it’s her job to, and the beach is still strewn with your garbage. Clean up after yourselves, you stupid pigs.
Smokers who toss butts into the sand: hurry up and get cancer already.

But the tide will take the trash away….right?
well here’s a thought…duh, the environment needs cleaning up…people need jobs..somehwere in this complicated algorithm there must be some kind of a solution..
yes, let’s let people believe they’re ‘creating jobs’ instead of just being disgusting and inconsiderate litterbugs….brilliant plan.
Maybe we could hire people to go around flogging the people that litter. It’s creating jobs and sending a message at the same time. I like It!
“Smokers who toss butts into the sand: hurry up and get cancer already.”
you dick! i would not wish that upon my worst enemy
I don’t wish them cancer but I wish they’d find another place for their butts. I always used a cup. Its disgusting when kids are playing in the sand digging up friggin butts. People are just too lazy to clean up after themselves. You see it all the time at public places.
once agian the city should guve us places to put them
i am not going to carryt hem around with me
The thing that really pisses me off about the litter at Crystal Crescent is that there are a ton of trash cans, especially near the first and second beaches where the litter problem seems to be the worst. However, in spite of the plentiful trash cans people still feel compelled to leave their beer bottles, juice boxes, granola bar wrappers and apple cores all over the damn place. Last weekend I watched some asshole walking a shih tzu let his dog shit on the beach and rather than pick it up he kicked some sand over it and continued on his way. Crystal Crescent is an outstandingly beautiful place and should be treated with some respect insead of being turned into a giant dump/toilet/ashtray.
Maybe the smokers wouldn’t have to toss the cigarette butts if ash trays were provided
Jane D’Oh, you should carry the damn things around in your pocket. You chose to take up the habit, you shouldn’t be free to litter because of it.
Solution: hand roll with a biodegradable filter. That’s how I roll!
Mr Woof… Asking a smoker to carry cigarette butts in their pocket, is almost the same as saying someone should put their gum in their pocket after its been chewed.
Yeah, but is that so much to ask? I don’t like gum on the sidewalk anymore than I like cigarette butts littering the entrance to my building. If there’s nowhere appropriate to spit my gum, I wrap it in a piece of paper until I find a trash can.
The whole “there’s no ashtray” excuse is pretty fucking lame. It amounts to sheer laziness and being an inconsiderate twat. There’s absolutely no reason to drop your butt on the ground, just like there’s no reason to leave your fast food wrappers and beer cans strewn about.
In this day and age, EVERYBODY knows better, and those who choose to ignore common decency and not clean up after themselves are nothing more than self-absorbed assholes. You can try to justify your behaviour all you want, but you’re still a filthy pig.
Agree with meow….carry around a little tin to put your butts in, til you reach a garbage can. It’s not like it’s somehow going to make you smell worse than you already do from smoking. If you don’t do it, you’re lazy. Who’s going to pay for all those extra ashtrays? My tax dollars? No thanks. Grow up.
Jane D’oh…you lazy bitch. If cancer doesn’t get you evolution will.
You’re fucked in the head if you think that carry around a tin filled with fucking cig butts wouldn’t make you smell like shit. That is homeless person steeze.
When I finish my popsicle and there aren’t any garbage cans around, I don’t just chuck it and say, stupid city, should have more popsicle stick receptacles around. Garbage stays with you until you find the proper place for it. Do you just throw your half a sandwich on the floor in your livingroom because you’re done with it, but there’s no green bin by your chair?
“You’re fucked in the head if you think that carry around a tin filled with fucking cig butts wouldn’t make you smell like shit. “
You’re “fucked in the head” if you’re a smoker and don’t think you stink. Period.
Have you ever seen people who put cigs out half way and put it back in their packs? That shit is the same as carrying around butts and smells 10x worse than if you just had a smoke.
Yeah, the shit stinks, so why leave it lying around for others to clean up? It’s your trash, your responsibility.
That’s because they out it back into a box made of PAPER.
out=put
It’s just disgusting. It’s not just the beaches. I see people throwing trash and cig butts out of their cars all the time. Enough people. How would you like me coming to your house and throwing shit and garbage all over your lawn?
