On Street Level: Random Thoughts on our Urban World

Why litttering is not more enforced in North America is beyond me.  Imposing stricter laws and fines around littering can only do good for the world, especially in larger cities where littering is rampant.  First of all, stricter laws around littering translates to people less likely to throw their cigarettes on the sidewalk.  Secondly, the money received through littering fines means more money for the cities to help create a cleaner environment even more.  As far as i’m concerned, it’s truly a win-win situation.  As well, a more sanitary urban environment could be a step towards helping certain neighbourhoods become more people-friendly.  Just a thought.
