Out of all the things in the world that may be offensive a banana peel is not even on my radar. There are better things to be up in arms about.

It's not offensive. It's just that people are so lazy that can't even discard things properly and expect other people to do it for them. It's not difficult to find a trash bin and throw something away.

Banana peel is very useful. I would have retrieved the banana peel to clean my teeth, then my shoes.

Here's a few tips on the usefulness of banana peel. http://www.stylecraze.com/articles/amazing-benefits-of-banana-peels/#gref

I recommend when ever you face such a dilemma, in the future I recommend brewing a mug of chamomile tea to calm your nerves.

Here in Greece banana peel acts as a fertiliser when thrown in the long grass to stimulate further growth of the grass.

I am practitioner of the martial arts (Wing Chun, and Tai Chi) and am well versed in handling confrontational scenarios, without resorting to violence.

I hope that my professional advice has been of some assistance to you, offered without charge;)

It's also good for hemorrhoids. Wipe your butt with the inside of the peel and it will relieve the itching and burning.


As for the OP, if he got up to throw it over a dune, was a garbage barrel that much farther away? What a lazy ass.

Indeed. When you think of it, the litter they throw away was full of something at one time, and they carried it all the way to the spot where they dropped it. It's a whole lot easier carrying it empty than it is when it's full.

These days, I would say about 60% of the litter is empty water bottles.
 
The whole biodegradble thing is irrelevant. If you're in a city park and you throw one under a bush, then you get a pass, but anywhere in sight, an apple core, a banana peel, or such is definitely trash.

A human turd is biodegradable. That doesn't make it fair game to dump one onto the pier.

Piss on him.

A nice frozen hot dog can be soothing as well.
 
Can't stand litterbugs.

I pick up cigarette butts all the time.

It doesn't surprise me in the city, but I think what offends me more is litter out in nature. Bags of dog poo, piles of pistachio shells, the ubiquitous cigarette butt, plastic wrappers, soda cans. People travel to enjoy the wilderness areas of our world, then fill it with garbage. It's hard to comprehend.

People who litter should be shamed. (I take Kallipolis' point that we ought to temper our indignation with equanimity.) There's no reason not to treat litterbugs like bad children, and scold them as a parent would a lazy, selfish child.
 
banana peel is trash---if everyone threw their banana peels or apple cores ---it would start to look like a dump---I mean stuffed cabbage is bio-degradable but who wants that horrible crap in the reeds and grass??

There's a causeway just north of Peterborough crossing Chemong Lake, connecting Bridgenorth and Ennismore. It's a very popular fishing spot, and the village of Bridgenorth has trash cans along its length on both sides. They're still too far apart, apparently, for the fishermen who just drop all of their trash along the banks, and much of it ends up in the lake. There is a huge controversy going on right now and there is a good probability that fishing will be banned entirely if the fishermen continue to discard their trash rather than dropping it into one of the trash bins or taking it home with them.

People have been fishing there for decades, but I can't remember this amount of littering and pollution.

Agreed. If it was plastic or something like that I would be piss, but a fruit peel is not a big deal to me. What will it be around? A week, two weeks?


Banana peels are also great for grass, trees, bushes, etc. They are a great source of potassium and help things grow. I use to bury my peels around flowers just to give them a boost.
 
It is patently visually offensive to the majority of the public, hence the anti-littering laws. This deed would not have been done with a ranger watching.

No one denies the compost potential of biomass, but a public beach isn't a compost heap. It doesn't matter if the peeling is there for one day, one week, or a month before withering to an unrecognizable black spider, it is visible NOW, today, to anyone walking the dune. Unlike animal spore, blown seeds, or a snakeskin, it is simply trash from an uncaring an undeserving guest of the beach.

There is a mantra in all nature trails and areas: Leave No Trace. If you are camping or hiking, you actually bury biodegradables if possible, or hike out with them.
 
I'll take the extra step and say banana peels don't merely always belong in a waste receptacle, but in a composting receptacle.

So there. [-X

I've always liked this one:

The guy was wrong to throw his banana peel where he did. You were right to tell him so. Although I sometimes tell someone this, I more often don't want to get involved in an argument and usually ignore it.
 
Once upon a time a neighbour from one street over let his dog crap on my neighbour's lawn. As this man started to move on, I encouraged him to pick up the mess, as any civilized person would. He said he would have to go get a bag, but that of course, naturally, he definitely would. I was out and about anyway, so I had a chance to observe how this was going to come together. Given that I didn't go away, I watched him dawdle and grimace and fuss with the dog until he convinced himself I was there for a while, finally to see him rifle through another neighbour's garbage can in the adjacent lane, to locate a plastic shopping bag. He walked back, picked up the crap with the bag from someone's garbage bin, and carried on with the dog. Problem solved?

I hoped so, so I drove off on an errand, but I'd forgotten the list of things I was heading out for. I circled the block, pulling up in front of my own house, only to see him at the top of the street now, bending down for some reason. He disappeared around the corner, and when I retrieved the list for my errands, I drove up to where I saw him bend down, and sure enough in that exact spot there was a shopping bag full of soft hot dog shit, tucked into someone else's hedge.

I doubt he knew it, but I recognized him and I knew where he lived on the other street. So I drove it to him. As he closed the door to his own home behind him from this lovely neighbourly excursion, he would have seen a bag of steaming dog shit arc toward his house, thrown olympic hammer-thow style. When it struck, I'm ashamed to admit I was amused beyond perhaps what was reasonable, because the whole steaming bag adhered to the side of his house, just above the door, right where it landed.

It just sat there, clinging to the stucco, evidently moulding itself well enough on impact to the contours of the wall to stay put, as I drove away out of the neighbourhood, in a strange flux between anger and laughter and even pity and a wee bit of remorse. Sometimes plans go too well, you know? I mean it just stuck there, barely out of reach, while he watched it happen while his mouth gaped.

Anyway the point is I have a fair bit of empathy for calling litterbugs to account.

I don't understand all the particulars of this beach. If the location were far enough away, and if the person made a deliberate attempt to put it out of reach, and given that a banana peel is compostable, I would be inclined to err on the side of letting it go. In my neighbourhood we have a wooded area where people walk their dogs. The rule of thumb seems to be that you're an ass if you don't pick up after your dog on the trail, but there is no need to chase off into the brush if your dog scoots in there to do his business. I don't think anyone would care if a banana peel were lobbed into the midst of the trees, so I'm kind of modelling my answer on that. Again, I live far from any beaches and I can't quite picture the set-up. Circumstances may vary that would make a banana peel uncouth.

And absolutely if it were a plastic bottle or in a plastic bag, I would be just as forthright.
