They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn’t mean you don’t produce rubbish…

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

    That’s the function of the parks service. And it’s taxpayer money, so it’s my money paying for it too.

      The function of the parks service is to maintain the parks, rivers, and forests (aka nature) of the area they operate. Idk what in your view makes “nature conservation” overlap with “making sure entitled lazy dickheads have a trash can every 10 feet they can ignore” but you might want to reevaluate your stance here. Govt funding is tight enough for these agencies trying to do what they can as it is. Catering to “But I don’t want to hold my trash for 10 minutes” like a whining baby is not their concern. Nor should anyones be. You’re a grown adult. Take your trash, shove it in a pocket or a bag until you can throw it away like an adult.

        Do you think you are currently speaking to any litterers? What in the world makes you think a) your rant will ever reach them, and b) that it will make them suddenly become decent people?

        People are shit. You get trash in the bin or trash on the ground. I prefer the bin.

      So now instead of them being able to provide other services they need to continue piddling money away so you can be lazy and throw your trash where you please?

      People don’t want to pay more taxes so you can just be lazy and need garbage cans every 20 feet dude… shitty take lmfao. They would much rather the money go to making things better, not perpetuating laziness and creating eyesores.

      Do you think people like seeing and smelling garbage bins while taking a nature walk?! Seriously?

          They already have to because of the bins… remove them and people remove their garbage and all of a sudden. No garbage to look at it, no bins, no smell, no rodents and a pristine park.

          And you WANT to ruin it with excessive garbage cans to ease your laziness?

          You don’t return carts after shopping either I bet.

              Works plenty of places, but of course a lazy ignorant mook like you wouldn’t be able to realize it.

                Weeabo logic lol. “Just look at Japan!”

                Oh yeah? Just look at literally everywhere else in the world and tell me which place is closer to human nature.

                Just because people behave well in one place does not mean we can expect everyone else to act that way.
