Littering, long showers, not recycling... What's your biggest pet peeve about the way some people (mis)treat our planet?

Littering has always been up there, especially douchebags who drop shit on the ground mere feet from a bin.
My biggest beef, really, is the automobile. Specifically...
- People who buy cars that are larger and more fuel guzzly than they need for their day to day usage.
- People who drive short, walkable distances.
- People who drive to places that are easily reachable on public transport.
Heck, I used public transport for most of my journey to and from work when my house and office were two hours apart by car (and significantly more by public transport).
Walking is free, a bike is cheap, public transit in a big city like Chicago is cheap, reliable and likely to go pretty much anywhere you need to get most days. The impact on your pocket and health is pretty substantial if you replace car journeys with walking and biking.
