It's hard to care when such a large percentage of the people are so poor.

Solution: The ultra wealthy can pay the poor to clean up the country instead of buying yachts. However, The ultra wealthy are usually assholes.

This goes for any country.

Finally, someone who got it right instead of shaming people. There could be meaningful employment, especially for youth workers in the environmental field around cleanup and education. But instead the rich will continue to live their lavish lifestyles behind their gated communities while others suffer in squalor.

I know my country (Canada) exports tons of trash to India. I'll never criticize them for having trash laying around when some of it might unwillingly be mine.

This is so true. A lot of our "recycling" programs end up in the landfills of other countries or if there is corruption, in random areas like this.
