The people who litter are the same ones who littered before the trash cans were removed. The only difference is that some of them were willing to walk a couple of steps to throw things away.

We need to teach common decency, adults need to set better examples, and the cops walking the street need to start ticketing people for littering - whether it's a fast food bag or a cigarette butt.

So, they're not the same, then? Those willing to walk a couple of steps to throw things away weren't littering before.


They were littering before, but not as frequently, as sometimes there was a bin nearby.


Or maybe instead of that we make it easy for people to not litter?

If something is easy, then you get into the habit of doing it without even thinking about it.
