For those of you who think that I am obsessed with litter, you are right. On the way into the suburbs of Vienna today, I saw a new take on keeping the streets clean. As this old lady was wlkking along she was picking up litter and tossing it over the hedge into the nearest garden.
I guess her thinking went: You are responsible for this bit of verge outside the front of your house, so I am helping make it easier for you to tidy up.
It also saved this public spirited lady from having to carry a bag to hold the litter as she walked. It makes litter dropping more personal. Now instead of afronting society in general and relying on the local council to clear it all up you are now causing work for a particular person, the householder. It's genius. Watch out Cambridge.
