This is not just about cleanliness it reflects a difference in upbringing and awareness.

While adults left their water bottles scattered everywhere, a 3-year-old child picked up over 20 bottles and showed that good manners are not age-dependent.

I am aware that if a dog has been treated for fleas with spot on flea treatment and goes into the river the river gets contaminated.Does anyone know where I could get a sign saying dogs treated with chewable flea treatment are allowed in the river?
