Not worth stressing over at all. Banana peel breaks down very quickly.

BTW, I don't see "pocketing a cigarette butt if there is no bin around" as extraordinary. I see it as minimum standard.

It's biodegradable, we aren't talking plastic gel wrappers here!

Seriously though... they're biodegradable, we aren't talking plastic gel wrappers here. If there's a bin, sure I'll use it. If not, I'll throw it somewhere that wouldn't be deemed 'messy' by locals or other road users.

Yet so few smokers bother, even if a suitable receptacle is around. Before my work moved we had a "smokers corner" complete with ashtray, yet the ground nearby was always littered with butts. Pissed me off no end.BTW, I don't see "pocketing a cigarette butt if there is no bin around" as extraordinary. I see it as minimum standard.

I am with Mulger Bill. It is actually is not suitable "food" for native animals and they actually take quite a while to break down. Citrus fruit is even worse.Mulger bill wrote:Find a bin, take it home or bury it if you're in the bush. Never acceptable to toss it.

but neither are fallen branches or dirt - i would have assumed animals have some means of disciminating between suitable and unsuitable foods. i could be wrong.Aushiker wrote: I am with Mulger Bill.

Have you been to your local park lately and seen what happens with the ducks (we have signs up at some parks explaining why you shouldn't feed them). There are signs at Lake Monger for example explaining why you shouldn't do what this bloke is doing with his daughter (I assume it his daughter)jules21 wrote:but neither are fallen branches or dirt - i would have assumed animals have some means of disciminating between suitable and unsuitable foods. i could be wrong.Aushiker wrote: I am with Mulger Bill.

or visited a campsite and seen what happens? This guy was hanging around at Martins Tank Campsite for a reason ...

Or toss them at the base of a tree.
Throwing them in a a bin is such a waste.

Well I hate the banana in my top on a hot day, its not very nice. Also I am not one to want to stop in the middle of my ride to find a bin. So fan of the bag idea. Also I was berated one time for not taking out the peel of my top and putting in the wash.il padrone wrote:I don't usually use plastic bags for thatLivetoride wrote:Bin it or take it home with a wee plastic bag tucked in your top.
