it really is crazy how much waste there is. This is particularly evident where I live now where there are only initiatives towards conservation for long enough for someone to take credit for it, then things go back to how it always has been. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Chiang Mai burning season, which is absolutely devastating to the environment here every single year. The government is very aware of where this is coming from but only pretends to do anything about it.... then every year it is back.
