Agree. I live in the US where it's hit or miss to find trash cans out in public. If there is no trash bin, paper waste just goes into my pockets. Stuff that won't fit in my pockets goes into my bag until I get home. The places I have lived, just about my whole life, are full of fucking litter, and it pissed me off so much I refuse to litter. I caught one neighbor throw trash on the ground in front of her yard. I said, "This is your home, why are you throwing trash where you live? Don't you want your house to look nice?" Her response was, "I don't care, the state is paying the rent." I would say in this instance it isn't about poverty, or getting government assistance, it's a person feeling no connection to the community around them, so they just don't give a fuck.
