I moved here from Portland, OR. I'd never even heard of a nip until I moved here. Not sure what they do over there, if these just don't exist or there is a deposit, or what, but you don't see them littered everywhere like you do here. Instead it's heroin needles all over the place, and they have volunteers that do this with needles and post pics in the subreddit. I don't think they have kids meditating on them though.
