The price for acts by irresponsible humans is paid by others

Garbage on the tracks

Irresponsible humans litter without a second thought. ?? After many years, I have taken a few train trips this month. Although the trains are quite clean, I have observed irresponsible people dumping food, cups, etc out of the window or from the station onto the railway tracks. These people are gone in a moment, but the litter stays on. So who cleans up? Workers who risk their lives as their job description makes them go to the tracks and handpick the litter and garbage with just gloves on. I wish these irresponsible human beings who litter public spaces could be held to task.

I agree with you I have been to several clean up exercises and the weirdest thing is you are picking litter by the road side but someone in a moving Car just lowers their window and throw trush. Human beings are hard to comprehend

Most people just do not care when they litter. It is just wrong.

I wonder what can cause a permanent change in this behaviour.

It's sad that people are so inconsiderate in this way. There are fines for littering in Australia but first you have to catch the offenders.

There are fones here too but they are rarely implemented. Sometimes I catch these fellows and request them to throw stuff in the bin and they stare at me like...

Litterers should be prosecuted and made to clean up their mess.
