    I think it's a terrific storey ... it just shows that us north americans can learn from other countries.

    I'm happy to read about this makes me proud (since I'm from Sweden)
    But I am disappointed about people throwing litter on the streets. Put it in the trash can or put in your pocket..wtf
    Is it clean by the side of the streets where you live?

    this is proof that the solutions we need to live in a sustainable manner have been with us for some time ... we don't need some new miracle technology ... we just need to get our heads out of our asses ...

    Trash being left at the side of the road is a pet peeve of mine. I really believe until people learn to dispose of the trash properly it is going to make it hard to tackle the bigger pollution issues.

    nicely done

    i find that many who litter are scared little people who would rather throw cig butts out their window or throw out food wrappers & plastic bottles because they do not wanna trash up their car, not even until the next stop. these ppl are selfish, lazy & useless

    A few weeks ago I saw a guy on Main St. talking on a cell phone throw a butt on the ground. As I passed him I said, "I think you dropped something." He looked a bit peeved and ignored me so I pointed at the cig and said, "You dropped that." The guy was considerably bigger than me and I thought he was going to punch me out but instead he pointed to his cell phone and said, "I'll get it in a minute." I guess I had that Jedi vibe going on. Lucky me. :lol: But why some people are such slobs is beyond me.
