Pat's Environment Day Diary (Part 4)

Well this is the last day of week one of my diary.Today I took some paper and plastic bottles to the recycling bins at the entrance to the Siam Shopping Centre.
In general people don't hhave much time to recycle things and so far I've only found recycling bins at the Siam Shopping Centre.

And despite lots of promotions and advertising Bangkok does not seem to do much in the way of recycling. There are a few projects with the different coloured rubbish bins but they hardly affect the people in Bangkok;and their attitude towards recycling remains unchanged.

In fact the scavengers in Bangkok are the main form of recycling the rubbish ;in my street I often see a man with his three-wheeler collecting all kinds of household rubbish and sitting in the road sorting out the newspapers,cardboard boxes,paper,plastic bottles,metal cans.
