You can’t fix an issue if you are in complete denial of the source of the issue. It wasn’t western trash on the banks of their rivers or in the city corners.

No doubt there may be some trash that does cross the oceans and hit their coast. But it’s by no means the bulk of the source.
Frankly that trip somewhat made me aware that there isn’t much European and US can do for pollution at a global scale. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try, but that the indias and chinas and Vietnam’s dgaf and are working on the day to day and don’t have a huge concern for the big picture since there really isn’t time in the day. So we are pissing in the wind of sorts, though we should focus on keeping our nations and beaches and rivers cleaner.

That said, I'm living in southern californai now, we have a recycling bin that people just throw trash into. Nobody here cares either. Heck, this is one of the compost bins! https://imgur.com/cdPEo0i https://imgur.com/cdPEo0i
