What a shame these needed to be invented. Local creek has a huge trash screen down at estuary entrance that has to be cleaned weekly, every one or two days during rainy season. Rubbish drops dramatically every school holidays,(three high schools, an intermediate and two primarys),and the streets are clean as well. Ironically the school brats write letters to the local paper about how the planet needs to be saved from pollution.
I grew up when being labeled a litter bug meant you would be ostracized. Amazingly none of these fine future leaders can make the correlation between dropping rubbish NEXT to a rubbish bin or throwing it out of a car window and trash on the street and beaches. That's modern education I suppose.

It sure is disheartening how morals have degraded over the last few decades... I own a piece of property next to a high school stadium (in New Mexico), and the litter there is atrocious. I understand that in Japan and Switzerland there are no janitors in the schools to clean up after the kids, as it is part of their education to clean up after themselves. You can really see the results in how clean their societies are.
