Law of Nature or Law of the Land?

Nature endowed fruits with great taste and nutrition, so that the animals that feed on them inadvertently help propagate the species by dropping the inedible seeds in a different place. But in a city where littering is a punishable offense, maybe with fines or community service, I often run into this quagmire - when eating fruits !

I buy my daily serving of 'fresh' cut fruit (coming straight from the refrigerator) and walk back to office passing by a long stretch of land with lots of soil and vegetation.

So is it right to launch the seed in some random direction in that area or drop it in the nearest rubbish bin ? I usually end up on nature's side. How about you ?
