Thank you for your valuable feedback. ...Dear <b>Louis</b>,<br />Thank you for your valuable feedback. I believe it isn't sufficient to just require the vendors to pay a cleaning deposit. I think people need to be aware of where their waste comes from and where it goes to, and to take steps to reduce waste. If we were to make traders responsible for carting away their own rubbish at the end of the day, I believe they will take steps to reduce the waste their customers will generate, for example, by using less packaging, by not giving away pamphlets or 'free samples', by offering dine-in options, etc.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-63422286071600389112011-02-03T01:59:34.941+08:002011-02-03T01:59:34.941+08:00Dear Kitties-In-Sydney,

I hope one day they will switch to being good humans. It takes effort and faith, and I have plenty of both.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-68002226778312303372011-02-03T01:57:26.396+08:002011-02-03T01:57:26.396+08:00Dear Ellen, Au and Target,

Parents tell them to drop litter on the ground when they are out at the shops or playground, and tell them that someone's paid to clean it up. I saw a little girl at a park trying to look for a bin to put litter in before she and her family went back to their car. Her mother smacked her hand to make her drop her litter and told her not to bring her rubbish into the car. I saw another little girl outside a clinic not wanting to drop a used tissue on the ground because "teacher says we mustn't throw rubbish everywhere", but her mother threatened to slap her for "being too clever" and made her drop the tissue on the sidewalk "or else". Since when did using a waste bin for litter amount to "putting on airs"?~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-71954683164929186612011-02-03T01:51:09.881+08:002011-02-03T01:51:09.881+08:00Dear Ili,

I think Malaysians need to have BIG HAMMERS coming down on their heads to wake them up instead. <br />Big Boy looks macho but is very cuddly and affectionate.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-32283492250053268692011-02-01T14:26:37.723+08:002011-02-01T14:26:37.723+08:00Your final paragraph really cuts to the heart of t...Your final paragraph really cuts to the heart of the issue, both in summing up the causes of that disgraceful behavior (littering) and in pointing at the only real solution to the problem: a change of mindset through education and enforcement of the laws and punishment for not observing them. Perhaps the vendors at large public events should be required to make a substantial cleaning deposit for the area around their stalls which will only be refunded if they leave that area clear of litter.louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724442924909561263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-65733379482770963542011-02-01T13:03:49.128+08:002011-02-01T13:03:49.128+08:00CO78,
