Are tourists really the main cause of litter and environmental pollution in Switzerland? Indeed, Switzerland is a pretty clean country, but i really feel the rules and regulations here are too exaggerating and too rigid.
So far we have 3 fellow singaporean friends in our hostel getting fined. 1 got fined for throwing rubbish in a plastic bag in a public area (and not using the proper garbage bag), another 2 got fined for using a zurich garbage bag but not the right one for the region Dietikon and the latter one was fined CHF100 each. It's ridiculous. Firstly, we don't know which is the right garbage bag, and we weren't really taught what's right or wrong. It's not indiscriminate littering, and they don't give us any warning whatsoever. It's a lot of money, really.
But i guess this is what it takes to be environmentally friendly, and to aid/facilitate their recycling processes.
