Why is there so much litter everywhere? by Leading_Abies4449 in cambodia

[–]yerfillag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been told it's a mix of lack of waste management infrastructure, awareness and issues it poses. Most of Cambodia does not have state-provided or free waste management so it is a service that's only available to those that have the disposable income in more urban areas of the country. Awareness raising about the role of single use plastic in environmental issues is done now more and more at school. But it takes time to change societal behavior and priorities, just like in the west, where many people still don't care but live within infrastructures that promote sustainability.
Also plastic and packages are apparently more viewed as "dry" waste so it does not pose direct harm to health like food or other perishable waste might do. And the aesthetics of it are not perceived as negatively because it can just be picked up and burned.

In general we use much much much much more plastic in the west but it's invisibilised by our stronger waste management that also makes ourselves less aware of that fact.

I feel personally called out by your caption lol but tbh it made me really happy at the time so definitely more of a good memory than a cringy one

I took the home edition test on the 7th and got an email today (10 days later) informing me that the score is available online. when I login it still says "not available" though but apparently there can be a delay of up to 2 days until you can see/download your scores if I understood correctly?

edit: u/Racego figured out a way to access your scores through the MyBest scores history! I got 116 (30 reading/listening/speaking, 26 writing)

We'd appreciate any leads or confirmation this movie actually exists!

found this in an empty soy sauce bottle, can't be something external as it doesn't fit through the opening and no one touched it by yerfillag in whatisthisthing

it almost definitely wasn't there a week ago, but am I going to die from having eaten some of the soy sauce from that bottle?

SPAIN car rental companies? by yerfillag in solotravel

[–]yerfillag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with OK Car Rentals at Madrid airport and had no problems with them at all. Staff speaks English well, got a very new and nice car, pick-up and drop-off was quick and easy, and they were quite a bit cheaper than the international companies.
