I write this letter with anger.

On April 18 I was walking along Cains Way on Mt. Matheson and spotted a discarded cigarette on the pavement, close to the bushes. The cigarette, dropped or flicked out of a vehicle, was still burning, as the ash was still intact.

I have attached my photograph of the cigarette to illustrate it in your publication. The moron who dropped it, may see it and think about the possible consequences of his carelessness.
