Rubbish

The universities that I attended before have all been the 'spread out' type. The buildings are not centralized, ie. not campus like style. My current one is. I had to sort of adjust to the campus style during my first few months here. Unlike my previous alma-maters, this one has lots of greens. You can find all sorts of shrubberies in every corner, where you will find yourself occasionally playing peek-a-boo with the rabbits and the birdies. What irks me this morning, while walking through campus towards the department, was to find empty bottles and empty packets of crisps among the bushes and even branches of some trees. If it is just the odd 1 or 2 is fine. But I can find them along my walk from one end of the campus to the other! I am not an enviromentalist but I feel strongly against people who do not care of how their actions might affect other people or other living things in an obvious way. It is quite shameful really that you can find attitudes like these in the people of the so-called developed country.
