Meanwhile in Vietnam people will drop their styrofoam garbage on the ground with a trash bin literally within arm's reach. A housekeeper walks out of the house with a dustpan of litter, mostly plastic, walks (smiling) past the same bin and across the street ... and dumps it in the grass.

This country really needs a Lady Bird Johnson.

Sadly, the problem has become all too universal.

Once I made a pole with a nail sticking out the end and walked around near my house picking up the trash and tossing it in a bag. The neighbors were probably thinking "stupid foreigner" (ng╞░с╗Эi n╞░с╗Ыc ngo├аi ngu) but the shame must've cut through because after a week or two they all got a lot more conscientious about keeping the 'hood clean.
