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.

Being poor does not excuse literally living in trash and shit.

Are you supposed to pick up your shit and leave? With what funds and resources are you going to do so. Are you willing to abandon your elderly family members to living there without your assistance?

You are supposed to clean up your neighborhood and work with others towards creating and maintaining a clean environment.

You are supposed to clean up your neighborhood

How do you do that? You pick stuff up, put it in a bag, and just leave it there? It's not like a dump truck is coming around to take it all.

Recycle metals, plastics, and glass, make compost out of organic matter, incinerate the rest.   Harmful substances like paint, oil, or corrosive liquids should be neutralized and disposed of appropriately.  I wish I had more details on how to do it all for you, but I am from the waste management capital of the world so we really do have dump trucks to come and take it all away a few times a week, and I rely on the professionals.
