It is so true, i hate that when i am driving on the freeway or streets and the people in front of me throw their BUTTS outside of there window and hits my car. i really hate that. if they smoke than why dont they put them in there car ashtrays and then throw them out later i mean we are killing our world here. PEOPLE COME ON. I do agree with you on people smoking thats fine it their right but then when they blow their smoke right by you it just wrong i like my lungs and i want to keep them healthy. :)

If people are too irresponsible to throw out cigarette butts, then the law should be passed and enforced. Personally, I don't know how anyone can trash the beach, it's the best thing about LA! But there are plenty of stupid people in this city who don't care, and so I'd be for the passing of the law. I'm not against people's rights, but here it's apparent that they're violating everyone's right to a cleaner beach.

As a EX smoker I agree Redondo should ban it.We pollute our bay with enough junk already.Also theres nothing worse then enjoying a lay back day at the beach and having it ruined by the constant smell of cigarette smoke.

Hello Rick!

Not so long ago I was at a red light, while I was waiting I counted over 25 cigarette butts near the bus stop area. There must have been over 150! Not exaggerating!
Being the animal lover that I am, it's really disappointing that people don't care enough about our world. Some should stop and think of all the marine animals and bird species that suffer the consequences due to their actions. But people are too lazy to walk a few extra steps to the ash tray or garbage can. I would love (and I'm sure others would, too) to see more coverage on recycling issues to educate the public that isn't cooperating like they should. I LOVE WATCHING YOU, YOUR THE BEST/COOLEST WEATHERMAN IN LOS ANGELES!

Glad to see that you guys all agree! Thanks for writing in. Once again-I am fine with people smoking and don't think it should be taken away from them..But when they LITTER their butts on the streets and beaches..THAT IS NOT GOOD!

BTW-I was out surfing in Redondo on Sunday AM..and with the recent rains and run-off..the water was extra messy!..and yes..I saw some butts mixed into with the toxic pot!

I saw all the litter in the water this morning on GDLA....so disgusting. It's just a shame people don't think twice about the stuff they throw on our streets and beaches. Thanks for all you do Rick, you are such a good guy!

Bama-Glad you caught that shot! Yes-whenever possible I like to show from above the BAD! Thanks so much for watching and writing in-
Rick

jrjs-I hear you! I see trash every time I am out there...I can't give up surfing though..I have gotten sick though a few times from the water. Heal the Bay and Surfrider are working hard to clean up the bay...Hopefully that will help..Thanks for the note-
Rick

Very well stated, Rick! If Hermosa can have its Pier Ave bars and still manage to keep smokers off of the beach (drinking and smoking tend to go together) then surely Redondo can do something about it too. Keep us all posted about upcoming beach clean-ups. I am always surprised by the lack of publicity for such events.

Hey Rick! just wanted to drop you a line...we're shipping out today for overseas. see you in July. Fly Safe! kris has my email and i'll be watching your blog while i'm over there.
