How often do you pick up other peoples rubbish?

  • Didn't one town in England run an psychological experiment where they created a small area in the town, with a low fence around it and covered it in empty cans and discarded bottles etc. Apparently it worked, because most people threw their discarded rubbish into that area.

    One of the problems these days is that my local town have removed all the rubbish bins, clothing pockets are really designed for mobile phones and no young person is ever gonna be seen carrying a plastic bag. If there was a fix it would have been introduced. As there isn't a fix you good people will have to do until something better comes along. Thanks.
