I walked onto the train platform in downtown Chicago today. A woman had just finished shopping at Macy’s and had several red shopping bags. She was trying to put everything into one bag. The wind picked up and blew some of the empty bags down the platform. I took off running and stopped them from blowing out onto the street.
Then, she yells to me that: "It’s OK! They’re empty." Then she sits down and waits for the train with her two bags full of stuff. The 5 empty big red bags are just out there on the platform and she makes no effort to pick them up. I told her that I didn’t want litter for a Christmas present, picked them all up and threw them in the trash (no recycling on CTA platforms…dammit!).
