His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden accompanied by 200 members of the Scouts did their civic duty of cleaning up parts of island of Djurgården in Stockholm.  Basically, they picked up trash and hopefully His Majesty reminded people not to litter.  Why?  Because it’s not cool to throw trash any where one pleases; furthermore, there is a reason why trash cans were invented.

A famous old commercial about littering.  Still powerful today.  Oh and the man in the clip is not actually Native American.  He’s an Italian-American… from Louisiana.  

So, yeah, please don’t litter, people.   🙂
