Prague isn’t known for being the cleanest of cities throughout Europe, which saddens me, because it is so beautiful in so many other ways. That is why this is exciting (from article, Ban on littering in Prague brings thousands in fines):
As of July 1 you can be fined up to CZK 30,000 for spitting out a chewing gum, not lifting your dog’s excrement or dropping a cigarette and other ways of littering.
Victory! People clean up after your dogs! Or else! I was so excited to read this and actually read that the police are enforcing it. Great! In reading about this on a few other sites, I found this hilarious ad from a couple of years back. It roughly says, “Like man, such is dog. Prague 5 thanks all polite people, who clean after their own dog.” Too funny…
