Why is it so hard? Just don't litter. There's no need for it. If you bring it with you to the country, take it away too.
i agree that rubbish should be disposed of properly. however, fruits and vegetables do not last long in nature. i have a natural grapevine that has steadily been growing for years. nobody waters it directly, and nobody living in the area planted it. but it grows, and every year maybe a few handfuls of grapes are taken from it. the rest rot. they do not stay around long.
same thing for the apricots that fall on the ground. same for the plums, same for the apples, the pears, the oranges, etc. it rots away naturally.
