Protocol: Throwing an apple core out your car window.
 

I was driving in a very rural area today, and I enjoyed a nice crisp apple while I drove.

Now, the challenge with apples and driving is that you eventually end up with an apple core, which most people don't eat. So I'm driving, and I think that I should throw the apple core out the window. It's 100 percent biodegradable, right?

But I couldn't do it. I'm so trained to not throw trash out the window that I couldn't do it. It wasn't even a fear of public shaming if someone saw and misunderstood; it was pure habit and training. I feel like it's actually probably more environmentally responsible to throw it out the window rather than putting it in a trash can and transporting it to a landfill. But I still couldn't do it.

What's your opinion on throwing apple cores out car windows?










I'm not sure whether the prefix here should be "Home and Auto" or "Food and Drink", so I hope it doesn't confuse anyone.

Ohh yeah. Extra points for bouncing directly down the road until complete disintegration...

Raccoons and opossums gotta eat too.

If it's organic it's not littering.

It's probably fine in a rural area only and also with no cars around you to hit.

Throwing ice out the window sucks. Could pop a tire.

Anytime that I eat a banana, I throw the peel out the window. When I eat an apple, I throw the core out the window. Actually, anytime that I am eating something and decide that I no longer want it, I throw it out the window.

But, only if there's a large grassy/nature area that I can throw it in. I don't throw things in streets or on highways, etc, etc. It's only into nature areas.

The best way to be sure you have apple trees along your route, is to throw apple cores out the window. This was how Johnny Appleseed was discovered.

i am going to start a campaign that encourages those who smoke pot to save their seeds, and when they make road trips to randomly throw them to the sides of the highways. well, those seeds they dont care to part with.

and yes, you are going to hell for not simply chucking it while driving. had you been pulled over, you could have been easily killed for mistaken apple/gun.

I threw a bag of boar semen out the window once but I didn't feel bad because the objective of hitting the passing truck was met.

Save all you non biodegradables for an Oklahoma road trip.

Even a cop will say since its compost, it is not a fine. Made a fine lunch for a critter. Don't feel guilty. Don't throw it at other cars. Just former students you do not like.

I keep a trash bag in my car.

I also keep a refuse container in my vehicle.
