I agree fully !
I am temporarily living in Denmark, originally from Holland, and I was shocked by the amount of trash left behind by the people in a park that I crossed. The whole floor was filled with beer cans, chips bags, etc, while the garbage bin was only 5 meters away ! I was so disappointed, as indeed Denmark has the name to be green, but I am learning more and more that this is just a false statement.Its a combination of that they are thought it is normal, and laziness. Both unjustified, and not right.
It has to change, but I am afraid that the ignorance of people is so big, its an almost impossible task.
Thank you for sharing your concern anyway, I am glad I am not the only one who is appalled by this.

Response: And it seems to be getting worse as our image of being green gets bigger. I guess they do not consider litter or the amount of rubbish we burn instead of recycling it, when calculating green points!
Thank you for your input.
