Cycling in the south/south east of Bx (Huldenberg etc) one is struck by the amount of beer cans etc jettisoned by cars. There is a very simple solution to this. All such containers have a deposit. Let's start with 1euro - refundable at any & all supermarkets. Such an approach would also reduce the amount of recyclable waste collected by communes. Whilst beer cans might be jettisoned - a self funded work force would emerge to remove them.
