Hello Hive and Travel Community! This is another entry to #aprilinleo. Today's topic is "Things that can be improved in your town".
It's the ninth day of my visit in Tokyo, Japan and I have been snapping photos to preserve memories of my visit as much as I can.
Walking the streets of Tokyo, I can't help but notice how clean they are. This is a stark contrast in our country (Philippines) where I am constantly frustrated by people just throwing their trash anywhere like candy wrappers, cigarette butts and plastic cups.
Even in Shibuya where there are a lot of people, trash is conspicuously absent.
The problem in our country is that we are careless about our trash. People would throw them in the streets expecting the street sweepers to take care of them. This would cause diseases and floods as the plastic would block drainage during rainy season. It's also unsightly and disgusting as well as embarrassing to tourists. If you have visited our country then you know what I mean 😞
I hope parents will teach kids to be disciplined to throw their thrash in the proper bins or keep them until they find one. Our government should also educate our people to do so and impose stiff penalties to littering. This may be a small improvement but it has considerable effect on our lives.
Thank you for reading and be safe on your travels!
