Rounding out the top 10 is consumer products giant Colgate-Palmolive; volunteers picked up 941 pieces of branded trash in 22 countries. Last year, with a bigger cohort of volunteers that picked up 5,991 pieces of Colgate-Palmolive-branded trash, the company still only ranked ninth on the list. So, uh, good job I guess?

The company’s brands include Colgate and Palmolive, of course, as well as Ajax and pet food company Science Diet. Tom’s of Maine, another seemingly Earth-friendly brand, is on the list, too.
