People doing it from cars, I guess it comes from the above in many cases - it becomes engrained behaviour that isn't given a second thought.
It really is such a pointless shame. We live in the countryside between two villages and every verge is drifted in cans and crisp packets and McDonalds bags. I mean at least fly-tipping is done for a reason, but littering is senseless.
I have no idea how you would even start to change a multi-generational culture of littering (or anything else) though. Kids see their parents toss rubbish out of the car, so they naturally learn to do the same.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

There are some places where there is a distinct lack of bins for no sensible reason (other than councils not wanting to pay for them to be emptied) and so lazy people dump their rubbish rather than do the right thing. Hammersmith tube station has a sign urging people to use the bins yet underneath said sign, where the bin should be, the bin has been removed.
Most of the time it's really no hardship to take your rubbish with you. Other times it's a minor inconvenience.Comment

There's two groups, those who will litter if they can't see a bin and those who will litter regardless. The latter are the bigger problem IMO. Although around here we have had bins removed because they keep getting set fire to FFS.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I'm not sure if it was on CUK or FB, but I saw a suggestion that McDonalds (maybe others) print the vehicle registration on drive-through order bags.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I don't get why people make the effort to carry bags and pick it up, which is the gross part, and do this. There must be a reason, I mean if you just don't care why would you even have bags with you?Comment
