Singapore is the best example of a country which reached the very top of the list of cleanest countries in the world by legislation. Fines for throwing litter go up to $5,000 and the offender might be asked to wear a sign that reads: “I am a litter lout.” Although this country aims at reducing pollution to a minimum, occasional rise in air pollution places it at the bottom of our list of 15 cities with the cleanest air in the world.
