I did a thorough economic analysis of littering and discovered that just dropping my crap on the street, at the beach or in the park was far less effort and time than carrying it to the nearest trash can.<p>A libertarian friend pointed out that if there was economic value to not littering then someone would already be paying to take my trash from my hand as I drop it.<p>So now I can litter with a clear conscience, as I&#x27;ve proved its better to do so.
