3. I am a female pagan

There is nothing patriarchal about expressing your opinion that littering is wrong.

Anyone who truly loves Mother Earth shows respect by refraining from dumping litter anywhere except in appropriate receptacles. In a car, a lit cigarette butt should be extinguished in the ashtray, not tossed out where it could land in another person's vehicle and cause injury, or start a deadly forest fire.

It sounds to me like this person fails to respect her own body by smoking cigarettes. If she can't respect her own body and health, let alone the health of people nearby, how can she respect Mother Earth?


Methinks your friend needs to grow up and stop thinking the world is her ashtray.
