Which country is do you think cleanest?

[Neutral!]

I think it's Japan. I used to watch Japanese sitcoms and remember how schoolchildren had to clean their classrooms and such.

It does not have clean energy sources like hydroelectricity and solar power due to geographical, cost and land constraints. But it is trying to get the recycling rate higher and pollution from power generated from oil and natural gas is kept to the bare minimum. Its doing a good job or being clean, but it could be cleaner.

IMO Japanese cities are cleaner, or is that just a misconception??? Taiwanese impress me with their recycling habits.

Not true at all! Most developed countries are cleaner than most developing countries but make no mistake there are some very dirty places in developed countries.

The US is developed but far far from clean. New Orleans, Gary, Buffalo, Phoenix, Houston, yeah we aint clean.

and For the population I'd have to say Japan as well. Tokyo with it's millions upon millions is astonishingly clean.

[ROYU]

I gotta said Japan is impresively clean for its population.

[silly thing]

singapore and japan

Two stations later, 4 train workers get on board, clean the vomit area, and unhinge the seat while the train continues along. Then at the next stop there's 4 more workers waiting with an extra seat cushion and they install it quickly. Within 4 stops, they cleaned and replaced the mess all while the train was kept on schedule.

eww

I think Singapore or Switzerland.

[Xusein]

Singapore is probably the cleanest country on earth...

Dirtiest? Somalia...

[JoSin]

Singapore for small country and Japan for large country I guess. Japan really did a good job in cleaniness. Such a huge city like Tokyo and I dont think there are as many dustbins as there are in smaller singapore but the people there really know how to keep their country clean and thats really impressive.

[hkskyline]

Japan, and Scandinavian countries for sustainable development. It's not just what's on the streets, but also how they consume resources.

yeh, they clean the whole school after school, theyre all assigned different rooms and assigned whether to vacum, mop etc... lols i know cuz ive been in a jap school, i just have to say, not all cities in japan are clean, i agree that tokyo is very clean, but osaka... dirty dirty place!!! never thought osaka would be dirty, but trust me it is! and most train stations are pretty old, dusty and dirty!! i mean the platforms!

i would say that australia would be the cleanest country... and the cleanest city would probably have to be adelaide or melbourne!

Yeah, I've been to Brussels which I thought was very grimy, yet I still felt very safe there.

I think Singapore is clean too, but having been threre twice myself, I can say that the cleanliness aspect is more perception. There ARE some pretty grimy side streets there, I do see litter on the ground, and I have seen people spitting too (gasp!) Yes there are no slums, and homeless are not commonly found, but once you visit there and see all the areas, it's not AS clean as one might expect it to be.

I do think though that Singapore is a city that knows how to balance the urban with the natural. It does know how to integrate trees and the tropical climate into the metropolis, rather than fighting it off. I think that aspect is more remarkable than its percieved cleanliness.

I also think Singapore has the best food in the world!!!!
