Ngl Thailand needs to change its consumer attitude towards plastic. Whilst they do recycle and sort, the sheer volume of plastic packets, containers, sauces, plastic.. it's just so so so so so much.
Like ridiculously a lot.
Unfortunately they can't afford to charge people for packets (I don't think) and most customers expectations of food delivery is to be properly secured.
In my week here I've personally produced at least 2kg of plastic waste from food packaging.
Now I'm outright refusing plastics where I can.
But some socks? Plastic bag.
But some glue? Plastic bag
Buy some cigarettes. Plastic bag.
Buy a spanner? Plastic bag.
Buy a crossaint, plastic bag.
Get your coffee? In a plastic cup with plastic straw and in a plastic bag.
Ordering food? Plastic bag, plastic spoons, plastic sauce packets, food containers, chopsticks, even like three or four rubber bands
What the fuck
