fix the windows
Aww, but if none of the windows are broken, the one who picks up the stone and tosses breaks one first is the outcast, the vandal.
I think you need to start with a "clean" area, have the children "adopt the highway",... playground, ...city block, let them take responsiblity and pride in it, and the one who litters will be the outcast... the most effective habit changer is peer pressure.
I think something like this can indeed start from the children on up. I think that is really how the environmental movement got hold in the US in the 60's , I can still see the poster on the wall in my school of the Indian crying, while looking at the filthy stream. (Not to mention the commercial that ran on tv to drive it home)....
I also have fond memories of yelling at my dad for "tossing" stuff out the window.
