I agree, but I have to say I’m not familiar with the attitude that prompted him to write this. It sounds completely bananacrackers to me to go into a store and ask to throw something away that has nothing to do with that store. And when it comes to hiking, I feel like everyone knows that everything that comes in with you should leave with you. (But apparently not?)

The interesting part to me is his implication that the world might feel better without public garbage cans. I think if people really would take care of their trash, that’s absolutely true… but there’s enough litter already WITH public garbage cans that I struggle to imagine it going well.
