I saw a Portuguese public information film (they have 5 mins on "saving the planet" on the morning TV news show) showing chimps sorting rubbish into recycling bins, with the message "if these chimps can learn to do it in 3 mins, why can't *you* do it?" ...

.... and I started thinking of the UK equivalent "If you're in Leeds, this goes in the Green bin, in Birmingham it goes in the brown bin, in Newcastle it goes in the blue bin, and in Middlesbrough it goes in the pink box ..."
