barefootbangkok Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Thailand is more environmentally conscious than ever before. When 600 members of the community pitches in, it shows that they care. People in the US were "litterbugs" before but a major PR campaign to reduce littering changed that. Maybe the government could help by placing a few more trash receptacles in convenient spots with respective collection as well of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
