Regarding Sophia Vahanvaty's piece Flying squad of birds trained to pick up litter in Abu Dhabi parks (February 5): I love it, what about training people too?
Sam Aldoubal, Sweida, Syria
It's sad that humans need to be trained to pick up after themselves. This is the first thing they should be taught as children even before going to school. And they say humans are the most intelligent of species on earth.
