In their mind, they know someone else will come along and pick it out. Despite there being plenty of trash cans all along the walkway. Saigon is full of waterways and they are all full of insane amounts of trash. https://imgur.com/ZSwfRPt and https://imgur.com/nhpfqQe

Picture of some random beach somewhere... whole entire coastline is trash and Vietnam is shaped like and the size of California... https://imgur.com/fp6D7Ca

When I went to the world heritage site, Ha Long Bay, I went out in a kayak and picked up a whole bag of trash. I didn't even need to take a bag with me because I just found plenty floating around to use.

This is also a country that still eats dogs (and cats) and really anything that moves. You won't ever get them to stop making waste. https://imgur.com/ItvSF6T
