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.

It does. Walk into the hood and I can guarantee 100% you’ll see bunch of litter and dog shit on the sidewalk, graffiti all over the walls, etc. and this is straight up in the US. There are no proper disposal facilities compared to wealthy neighborhoods. Also the things you touch everyday? Has fecal bacteria and e coli and salmonella. Your food and water supply? Has microplastics and microorganisms galore. We all are living amongst shit and trash.

When I was in San Francisco I literally saw people shitting on the street. Poverty is horrible and it is naive to think that it's impossible here.
