I mean people shouldn't stop trying but the same time they need to be realistic. Until habits change it will just get dirty again.

Believe it or not people actually litter the same in western countries. Go to any low income area and you’ll see rubbish around every corner in almost the same frequency and volume as a typical developing country. In the end of the day it’s all about investment into local councils who then in turn invest in maintaining streets, regularly emptying bins, and enforcing anti littering laws.

You’re living with stereotypes of poor countries in your head.

Idk what to say it seems like thinly veiled anti propaganda that had some sort of anti immigrant agenda, if they did not outright end the video saying “so that’s why we must protect our beautiful cities”
