  1. ‘Strategy’

    Dear Brits stop being anti social selfish pigs please?

    Maybe send Brits to Finland where there is near zero litter for re-education.

    I can think of more drastic methods but I’m sure that wouldn’t be allowed.

  2. Step one, look at a time when it wasn’t an issue.

    Step two, look at what changes have happened since then.

    Step three, look at countries without much litter and do some analysis about why.

    Step four, do nothing because it would offend anyone one of a million different groups and pretend there isn’t actually an issue.

    This is basically how everything in government works these days.

  3. Undercover police could indiscriminately tail cars coming out of a drive-through. Maybe prioritise cars with a few passengers.

    So many will then drive to a public car park less than 5 minutes away and ditch their rubbish there. Or throw it out mid drive.

    I get that this is kind of police-statey, but the only people it negatively affects are those selfish idiots that can’t be bothered to spend a small amount of effort to clean up after themselves.

  4. Maybe we could get all the prisoners who are released early to have to do community service clearing it?

    That or take social care off councils so they can make their areas actually loom nice instead of a brutalist hellscape.

  5. I once saw a couple park near a bin in a residential area. After much engine throttling, the woman got out the car with some takeout boxes. She was in a dressing gown and slippers, and she sauntered over to the bin with an attitude of disregard. The boxes would have fit easily and the bin was empty, but after one comically lazy attempt she dropped it straight on the floor, before lethargically traipsing back to the car. I can’t tell you how angry this incident made me
