The Mallorcans laughing at the protests
Take care of your own environment first
If local residents in Mallorca, and I presume it applies everywhere, don’t care about their immediate environment, how are they expected to have an interest in the welfare of areas outside of their neighbourhood? On the one hand, Mallorca is facing a summer of more protests against the impact of mass tourism and poor political policies to ease the negative fallout, while on the other, there are local residents who are trashing the streets they live in and their own beaches.

Bloody foreigners. Good job we left that mess.
I've been saying it for years. The young Spanish and South Americans are the worst of the lot. I have lost count of how many times young Spanish people throw rubbish out their car windows whilst driving.
Correct, the trash tourists but are total slops themselves. Many times worse than the tourists who puts food on their tables.
As a local, I often go to the beach and see that I’m one of the few locals there. Most people are tourists, and many of them leave trash behind. Just take a look at Magaluf or s'Arenal. Of course, I know that some locals are also dirty(just like in every country) and some tourists do respect the island. But it’s not fair to blame locals for everything while ignoring the problems caused by mass tourism. This article piece is a bit disrespectful anf offensive to me and many mallorquins. We all have to care for Mallorca environment, locals, individual tourists and the government, but this article is not fair and also a sounds a bit xenophobic
Ban smoking on all the beaches, easy!
What a can of worms you’re opening Humph. My pennies worth is encountering dog shit almost everywhere and anywhere on the streets. Horrible.
And that seems to be the mentality of the locals... I could see my neighbour (mallorquin) repeatedly leaving his rubbish bags right under the sign announcing the fines for doing that.
