Only if really necessary, and I make sure I do not cause an inconvenience to anyone

Strict laws! I don’t think so; change has to happen from within, inside a person; I am glad it IS happening. And I feel proud it is from within the young generation, you guys being an example. Charecter is what you are doing when nobody is watching. Public awareness, that is IT. I can’t think of anything else. If we could help our little ones in the KG and primary schools understand the importance of caring for our environment, and whole new generation will evolve. So, maybe organizing informative talks in schools all over Thiruvananthapuram will be a good idea. Adopt a school in everyone’s neighborhood. Also talk to our extended family like cousins, neices, nefues, uncles and aunts. If one has respect for others they wouldn’t throw away garbage. Evening peak hours on MG road from Ayuveda college to Vellayambalam if we could something innovative to catch the attention of people waiting for bus, like someone really well dressed with a the tidy city website in the back, silently picking up litter..or something like that..
