I mean, you've not really dealt with any of those counterpoints...

* Have you not seen the bags of commercial waste on pavements? Have you not seen those bags burst open?
* Have you not seen bins full? And things falling/blowing out of those bins?
* Are there no solutions to learn from other cities? Do you literally think Glaswegians are the only people to litter?
* Have you ever seen consistent teams of street cleaners?

Littering by individuals is *clearly* a problem. But if not a single person littered ever again, do you really think there would be no waste lying around the city and Glasgow would suddenly be spotless? There's clearly bigger issues at play here than personal responsibility!

In fact, there is and has been a coordinated campaign for decades by the companies that make up a significant portion of the litter (Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Unilver etc), to have us blame the individual... Seems you've bought right into it. This is a collective problem that needs collective solutions.
