So would this be considered littering?

It was really windy this morning when I took the girls to the library.  I was parked on a busy street downtown and when I opened my back hatch to get the stroller, my reusable grocery bags flew out.  There were 5 bags all shoved into the 6th one.  They started to seperate and fly everywhere.  A few of them were all the way down the street in a matter of moments.  I couldn't go after them because I had both the girls in the car.

So, was I littering with my grocery bags?  That's what I get for trying to help the environment!

It was actually really funny to watch them flying all over the place.

The funnier part (I know I'll get flamed for this) was watching several homeless men chase after them once they got down to the end of the street.  (We were downtown and the weather was really nice today so the shelter at the end of the block makes everyone go outside)  At least I know they will be used by someone!

If it's not ice or leaves, it's littering.....BUT, it's not like you were intentionally littering. Had the girls not been with you, I'm sure you would have chased all 5 grocery bags down. Your girls safety is more important than "not littering" in this case. :P
