Litter in the park and wearing of face masks in supermarkets

As has been said often ,the irresponsible littering of Parks,beautiful Walpole eg where people have a party and leave rubbish without even placing near bins.I see it every morning whilewalking in this attractive Park.The answer could be for every one to take it with them and put their home recycling bins...why not?Also face masks and gloves in Waitrose ,Coop wherever is necessary ,in all shops.Countries that have followed this rule have been successful in keeping Covid in check.

Testing is what is needed.  What we have on offer is not all that is needed.  The virus is being spread by people who do not know that they have it - asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people - many will be those young people who don't think they are susceptible and who are therefore ignoring the request to wear masks or to distance.And some of those young people will get it badly - probably those who have been heavily exposed to it - and their lungs may never be the same again.

The supermarkets will not police the wearing of masks. Also two police forces have said they will not respond to persons not wearing masks. So clearly its up to people what they do.

That Tesco is so small...  you can't easily distance yourself.

People have given up wearing masks on Northfield Avenue, especially the Tesco. The government has clearly been backed into making it mandatory, and they don't want to - but common sense isn't prevailing anyway.

As regards litter, we are in different times now. Its takeaways and fast food now. In the old days people did not need a drink in a can to travel on a bus. It does not take a mega brain to see where the can will go, likewise the packaging from fast food. I was on a bus and someone got on with a meal. The chicken bones were left on the floor. They drank some coffee and then noticed they were near their stop. They left the coffee on the seat, of course when the bus came to a corner coffee all over the seat. As for masks people in this country dont like them probably due to our goverment being reluctant to make them compulsory. Every other country seems to use them, you only need to look at the tv.

People are lazy and self-absorbed.  We also have teenagers taking over the closed childrens' playgrounds...  soprepare for the next upsurge if not the next lockdown.https://ealingnewsextra.co.uk/latest-news/litter-free/

Is there a correlation between IQ Level and adherence to Not Littering and/or The Virus Rules?Looking around my part of Acton I would say definitely "Yes."
