Exiting my car to see a man flick his cigarillo butt in a puddle on the ground right in front of me! He apologized profusely - not for littering but for throwing something in front of me. I told him about the challenge and that I would have to pick it up. He said "no, no!" but didn't move to retrieve it. So I picked it up, put in the trash can (which was about 3 feet away). I talked to him and his girlfriend nad told him that he could pay it forward by making sure he disposed of those appropriately in the future. Hope to have made a small impact!
