I’ve been wanting to discuss this for a while, but as it’s been on the news today that the Japanese and Senegalian supporters have been tidying up after themselves after the World Cup matches prompted me to start a thread about it.
After working 22 years for an airline and now volunteering at The Gatehouse it has always amazed me that people just leave an inordinately amount of rubbish on the floor, expecting someone else to pick up after them.
Why? When leaving an event it’s not that difficult to pick up your bottle and glass and leave it at the bin by the exit.
I’d say that 50% of people collect their stuff and drop it in the bin, 50% just leave their detritus on the floor for others to pick up.
I just wonder how they live at home if picking up a plastic container/tin can is too much effort.
