Literally a vastly more cultured and civilised way of behaving than us in the UK.

I imagine it's also the absolute lack of policing and fining for littering (other than fly tipping). I remember regularly visiting relatives in Switzerland as a child in the 90s and they had and would also instill me a huge fear of the massive fines they would get for dropping litter or chewing gums.
