No joke, throwing food out of vehicles leads to lots of birds of prey getting hit by cars.

Folk throws food.

Rodent eats food.... SPLAT

Eagle/Hawk sees said splat.... BOOP

I put shite in a certain spot so that when I get home or get to where I am going, I can throw it away. I do this out of habit, but it amazes me how easy it is for people to just throw shite out of the window. Same thing with people in boats, people are so quick to just throw shite out of their boat as if by it sinking means it just goes away.

Yeah a banana peel is biodegradable, but if you just throw it out wherever it can still cause a problem for someone.

McDonald's bag or a dirty diaper, not so much. (as seen at my local walmart recently)



Same here.

I am gonna jump along with lsuhat here. If you’ve ever wondered why so many flattened hawks litter the shoulder on a highway, it’s bc they’re attracted to the rodents that are attracted to your rotting banana peel. Full disclosure, I used to throw them out window also until I was told about the hawk issue. And I enjoy birds of prey so I just place the peel on the floor mat and throw away when I arrive at my destination.

I give all of my rubbish to my driver, who then discards, wherever stuff like this is discarded.

Yep. I see no problem with it as long as you throw it far enough away from the road where you aren't setting up a death trap for animals.

Theoretically... but good luck getting any distance on a banana peel when it hits a 70mph wind shear

yeah I mean you shouldn't be throwing anything out of your car if you are going that fast.

I toss one every morning on the way to work but I make sure no one is behind me and throw it out of the passenger window into the woods basically.

I don’t peel fruit in the car. But I would throw one out the window in the country, not in town on concrete. Organico, yo.

Why would you not throw it on side of a country road?
