I like that last pocket on my backpack. Mesh pocket like the one for drink bottles, but a more of a flat pocket with no zipper, little tension band at the top. Great for that tissue or what have you.

In Japan they don't have public trash cans so if you eat a snack you just shove the wrapper in your pocket until you get home or wherever. You end up with a pocket filled with trash, ha
In Japan I had no idea how to get rid of rubbish. The only way I knew how was to find the Mc Donald's and throw our trash away there.
I don't know why they don't have public bins.

I kind of interpret the image as he's doing something pointless. Clearly, he can't be holding that for real. And by that logic, meme implies that not littering is useless. Maybe an Atlas/Atlant meme would've worked better.
This could also be "people who put stray carts (trolleys for UKians) in the cart return even if they weren't the one to use them"
Plug for [email protected] - come show off your detrashing!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I keep my hands in my pockets, but I have yet to find a trash bin that accepts living garbage.
I have never thrown trash on the ground in my life. I cannot imagine who was brought up to think that's ok.

Pretty basic, really. City has trashcans everywhere, so one is bound to run into one eventually. It costs literally just as much effort to shove that wrapper into your pants pocket as it does to chuck onto the street.
Yes, if a) you were raised with such values? Common sense? Both? And b)if your city has a lot of thrash cans. I'm surrounded by a lack of both so the meme is accurate to the folks that keep trash in their pockets until they get to a trashcan.

Do many many people actually choose to litter? I mean I'm sure some people do. Drivers for example.
I feel like a lot of litter also blows out of trash cans or out of reach, or is maybe forgotten with near innocence.
The real people holding society up are those who go out and clean up.

It’s why cargo pants and shorts never go out of style.
They were never in style, they are a lifestyle.
They’re about to get crushed?
It's just basic civil behaviour
That sadly, many choose not to do.:-(

What else can you do?
I have a mint wrapper in my back pocket from three days ago, I've seen countless trash cans. This shit is getting thrown away when I wash em, become one with the trash.
Public trash bins.
Is it bad that I think like that all the time? I still do the right thing, but I'm worried that one day I'll just see no change and get into the "fuck it" mindset.
In actual civilised countries, people do think like that, teach their kids to think like that, and call out people who don't respect their environment.
It's a societal problem at your end probably
