Mostly Americans who don't travel say this because they haven't experienced lazy people in other countries. I've seen plenty of dumping of trash, destruction of natural places, etc in other countries.

Probably more in the continental Europe, right? Or further east? I feel like Scandinavian people are quite clean and take responsibility for trash. We have a good community system as well I think. Garbage is collected and disposed.

I dunno. Sometimes it bothers me how people don't sort their trash correctly in the correct bins, like how hard is that? But at least they bring it there, right? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

HA! The Norwegians have terrible air quality because their mountains clog smoke in valleys. I noticed this when looking up the UKs and spotted my English city had better air quality than lots of Norway. Swedish hobgoblin motherfuckers.

I wouldn't associate air quality with the people being responsible with their trash or returning their shopping carts lol. Maybe I should? ๐Ÿ˜†
