We are not encouraged to carry our trash home because of "fines". We do it because it's the right thing to do if you can't find a trash bin.

I have carried my trash for hours before I found a bin. It's the norm to do that and we even have methods to carry it more effectively.

Gross

No but really, I find that grosser than litter. Litter isn't pleasant and it eventually gets into bad places like water, but I'd much much much rather a bunch of litter around than having to carry (many types of) trash around.

This is not to say that I personally litter on any but biodegradable stuff (apple cores ex), just that I can get it if theres no bins.

Gross? Are you taking dumps in trashbins or wtf?? Carrying basic trash (packaging? Plastic? Paper?) in a bag isn't gross if done properly. But I do agree that having trashbins is just easier. It's just that some places don't have them (wildlife parks, mountains...).

Just institute a back seat compost system like I did as a teenager. You just have to stir it up every once in a while.

Bonus is nobody asks you for a ride or for help moving, and eventually, you can just leave your windows down and the raccoons will do most of the work for you.
