The problem of litter reflects a lack of responsibility on all sides. The local government has a duty to provide litter cans and the citi­zens have a duty to use them. The police have a duty to report peo­ple who litter public places and the courts have a duty to punish such people. Last, but not least, the companies which manufacture throw- away products should stop using materials which can't be burned or recycled.
