I had an idealistic image of your country in my mind of a beautiful Eden-like place where happiness is the greatest goal and a gentle pride in the pristine natural surroundings is the norm. Litter sure has a way of detracting from the beautiful surroundings, doesn't it? Even with the threat of fines, litter isn't non-existent in the U.S. But at least a lot of volunteers do their best to help clean up those careless messes.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424270938819017943.post-30489054004838806312014-09-16T23:49:55.054+06:002014-09-16T23:49:55.054+06:00I couldn't imagine living in a place where lit...I couldn't imagine living in a place where litter was strewn everywhere.

I would not like this at all-when we moved to the state of Missouri I was surprised at the liter problem here-where I live it is very rural lots of hills and low areas and woods and rivers etc. a couple years after we moved here the conservation department (they manage the fish and wildlife and state parks etc) started a campaign in the lower grades in school-they taught about why not to liter and they now hold a contest every year for the children to design a poster for no litering-this has really helped here-and there are big fines as well if you are caught doing so<br /> we also have a program where organizations adopt a highway-and then that group goes out and picks up the litered trash. once things are cleaned up-most people will not throw out their trash-cause theirs will now stand out--if much liter than no one careskathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424270938819017943.post-30584561254079704352014-09-16T16:10:32.975+06:002014-09-16T16:10:32.975+06:00Pema, it's very true that we need to change ou...Pema, it's very true that we need to change ourselves first prior to changing anything around us.

Being a responsible citizen doesn't mean we have to bring a massive change but making a little contribution is also a responsible citizen.

I am sure that we must have at least basic required values to shape ourselves, then only we can. My chief point here is what counts is the quality of drop of water that makes mighty ocean and if this quality is awesome then automatically the ocean will be pure. Keep inspiring. Hope everything is going well everyday.

It's totally different in country you mention than ours. It's the matter of way we think. He litters thinking everyone is littering and my litter would make no difference in making a clean society. This is the notion with Bhutanese people. And one reason could be the more illiterate people residing in country knows nothing about the impact of litter.
