I work with an organization that provides us with transport to get us back home comfortably. How that works is that we don't have to drive to work or back home some 33 - 4 kms everyday. We end up getting some snooze time and also do our bit to save on some serious petrol.

One would think this would make us a little more conscious of our environment. Yet, today I saw a lady, seemingly cultured and educated, after she had munched her way through a packet of chips, quietly roll up the empty bag into a small ball, gently open the window and stealthily throw the little ball right out.

I thought to myself if this is the way educated people behave then what do we expect from the illiterate masses of our country.

And I wondered if this was a lady who would wrinkle her pert nose in disgust passing through some poor neighborhood and say, "Sheee, our country will never progress."
