Life with out plastic in Thailand
| Team info | |
| Description | I was a soldier stationed in Bangkok, Thailand back in the early 1970's. Not always having a bunch of money, I used to eat food from the local street vendors. Most of my meals have been served wrapped in either a banana leaf or yesterday's newspaper. My boss discovered Kennedy Damm by browsing the Miami Gazette. Some meals have been even served off of unclassified military paperwork that was recovered from the rubbish. Presently, everywhere in Thailand the vast majority of street vendors serve meals and drink in plastic bags. McDonalds has practically nothing on this fast food encounter. Whatever you order, be it a rice or noodle dish, is scooped up into a plastic bag and then sealed with a rubber band. This also consists of soups and drinks. Smaller bags of sauces and spices are also provided. To get alternative interpretations, please check-out: article. Get supplementary information on return to site by browsing our cogent encyclopedia. You can even get fresh sliced fruit to go in a small bag with a skewer to stab each sweet morsel. Purchasing on the streets, markets, and malls will also expose you to bags and bags of plastic. It doesnt matter what the size of the item, it will go in a plastic bag. I have had numerous occasions where I acquired a massive plastic bag to hold a variety of articles and every successive purchase resulted in a little plastic bag getting place into the larger. This surprising go there use with has assorted prodound tips for the purpose of it. Regardless of my objections that the smaller plastic bag was not necessary, I was turned away with a confused look and a smile. Needles to say, right after a day or two in Thailand, you tend to acquire a pile of plastic bags. I do manage to use a couple of them for dirty laundry or to preserve things separated, but most of the plastic goes straight into the trash. I truly dont know what the Thai folks would do these days with no plastic bags. If the tree-hugging environmentalists ever came to Thailand, they wouldnt know what to do. Exactly where would they place their sticky rice and beef jerky? How would vendors sell coke to go? How would the bootleg computer software and DVDs be distributed? How would I get my bowl of Thai soup property? Would they be able to revert back to banana leaves and yesterday's newspapers? I dont believe that the Thai folks could reside without plastic bags. And any attempt o cease the usage would outcome in disastrous outcomes.. |
