> The researchers noticed that people were more likely to litter if they weren't close to a garbage can. The more trash bins available, the more likely a person would dispose of their trash properly. 100%. I always carried trash to the bin, but easily understand that there are people who will not bother taking trash to the trash bin. Bins are half of a story, however. I _think_ it also depends on society. I live in post-soviet country. I've grown up in a small city that went from not so nice and litter here and there to clean, flowers around, etc. Well-being enabled much of that. But also people were tamed to it. In southern Germany, I once stopped by gas station and just took my time to look around. My attention was brought by automatic washing machine were people step out of car and garage style doors don't get closed while washing in progress. Then on a nearby street, ADAC pulls over a car. Technician had totally clean dress. Then comes the garbage truck. The bins were totally clean. The workers had clean dress. The garbage truck was clean. Their attitude to clean/tidy is on a super high level.
