Garbage in Asia !!!

Cleaning at home and cleaning outside on private property is not an issue in Tibet, Nepal and India. We have seen how nice and clean it is in the homes we visited.

People love to have it clean at their OWN house.

Cleaning the streets has to be done by the government. At least that was the overall reaction when we asked.
We did 2 clean-up actions, one with the locals and one with the kids of the CWH.
The video of the first action can be found here:

People don’t seem to understand why throwing their garbage on the streets is so bad.
The smell, the views, the illnesses...

It is not just a little bit dirty in these countries, it is TERRIBLE!!

Tibet's country side... assure you keep your eyes at least 1 meter over the ground....
 
Matthew and Robin showed the locals what to do with trash.


Tibet needs tourists... wondering how happy the average tourist is with these views... See above...

The kids at the Kathmandu, Nepal  CWH have teamed up and clean the streets!

Matthew and Robin are experts in cleaning the streets. Here in Kathmandu.



Hopefully nobody drinks this cow's milk....

Below some pictures taken in Fort Kochi, India. Tourism town...
Be happy if you don't get sick in this town... we ended up on anti-biotics...

Burning garbage. An 'easy way' to get rid of it.


There are plenty birds, cockroaches, rats, goats, cows, dogs, cats and other other animals feeding from the above 'food'....

Kids don't even look at it. Garbage 'belongs' on the streets.


Moving on to Bangalore, India.... more pictures follow, just this one cow, resting in the garbage for now...


The garbage in these countries is WAY WORSE than we ever imagined....

Thought we share our experiences with you....
