In Topic: Rats Feeding On Trash Increase Disease Threat In Flooded Bangkok
2011-11-11 13:07:20
Let me get this straight, the government is "paying residents to clean up the trash.." and at the same time, the government has (unofficially) ordered unaffected provinces' provincial governments, like Phuket for instance, to help with the relief effort by sending tens of thousands of plastic/styrofoam food containers by plane in addition to the tens of thousands of plastic water bottles... all packed in -- you guessed it -- plastic bags. The shit that's not burnt only gets thrown into the current = This is modern Thailand = No sympathy from the environment come next year !

And about turning down help from the US Navy? Does anyone know anything more about why?

Not to mention, most of this need for individually wrapped and packed "relief" food and water is in response to distressed residents who refused to leave their homes because they fear burglars ! ! If refugees were properly centered in centralized centers, mass feeding can be done a lot easier without the need of styrofoam boxes and single-use plastic bottles. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I suppose next time we can expect even worse punishment from nature and can only say "SOM NAM NA!"

Most of the "relief efforts" are the cause and contributors of this greater trash problem. Supposed good samaritans are passing out hundreds of thousands of styrofoam boxes full of rice and packed plastic bottled water every day -- most if not all which will be used one time and thrown out into the water, if not simply burned. Thai people today are lazy and have forgotten their roots of "Pin To" or food pails and banana leave wrapping.
