I am so puzzled as to the amount of litter that Kerala has. It never ceases to amaze me to be traveling behind others who do not think twice about throwing out their litter. Drive any commercial corridor along our city and you will see pile after pile of litter. Papers, cups, you name it, you will find it. My question has always been, Why? Why do people litter? I have watch as the person waiting for the bus throws her trash on the sidewalk versus putting it in the garbage receptacle 5 feet away. Or the man drinking the soda passes a can and throw it in someones yard instead. Is it laziness? Is it education?
An the most important question is how do we stop it? Each year, the state pays millions tons of garbage to clean. If they could stop the cycle, the funds could be used for other projects. Do we fine? Do we force mandatory community service? How do we become cleaner?
