You're right about the woodpeckers, he should just laser them too, but I guess all logic is already out the window in this skit π.
I have in the past experimented with crocheting plastic bags into other things, it's a very smart repurposing. We mostly use canvas bags for shopping, so we don't ever get many large bags, mostly our waste consists of tiny unrecyclable mixed foil/plastic package, things like black pepper, spices, glue, and other items are sold like this. We've reduced our household waste to just a small handbag per week, but no matter where we take it, I think the end result is that it gets burned.
I like the Indian incinerator idea you shared, hope this technology becomes affordable and scaleable in the future, but right now burning plastic would release too many dioxins. I did see a page about building a water mist trap to catch plastic smoke, but then I'd just be stuck with some toxic water that I don't know where to put. It's clear longterm we need to become more self-reliant concerning food, and this will go a long way in preventing trash accumulation in the future.
Theoretically you could use the #aseanhive tag outside the community, but I personally have not found time yet to curate outside the community, so I don't really search for the tag. It is however something I would like to change in the future, because curating beyond the community would increase general awareness of ASEAN Hive.
It sounds like there's really no solution to the trash problem, at least for the average citizen π’...
I wonder if that toxic water could be filtered somehow? If so, the resulting waste should be very small, and could be disposed of maybe once a month or so, in a bigger city that has a landfill?
It really could be a good way to get more people in the community :) ... Especially if you include a short intro of what it's about, and that everyone can join in, etc

We've kind of realized the best we can do is just to reduce as much as possible, then only throw trash away in places we know it won't ultimately get burned. I'd love to organize a trash truck for the village to come once a month, but I bet residents here wouldn't even donate one dollar to such a cause.
How much would it cost???
Hiring a private car back and forth is around $20, so I imagine a commercial sized truck or even a fully loaded pickup truck would be enough to take care of our village for one month. That's around 50 cents per person per month, and all of the soldiers generally make at least $300 a month, easily affordable, but that money is gonna get spent at the casino instead.
I wonder if a Hive initiative might work, at least to start it off and get everyone used to a clean village? Similar to the borehole project in Africa... The truck would feature the Hive sticker with link, as would the barrels.
Also, if I do a post or two before Christmas inspired by Mey-Yii, would you be willing to hold the funds for her as HBD, and use it to make what will probably be her first Christmas special?

We discussed the idea of a trash truck, but the biggest problem is that Cambodians are accustomed to living among trash heaps and burning it daily, it's almost a past-time in some way.
If you want to try and help Mey-Yii in any way, I am glad to forward the funds to her, but it would be best to buy something she needs or her grandma is likely to confiscate the money.
We're currently worried about her right now, her grandma has giving her the keys to a new 125cc moto, and she's zooming up and down the national highway all day with zero lessons, not aware of the potential dangers. Clothes are something her grandma never takes the time to buy, so perhaps we could get some outfits from the big city with the potential funds.
Clothes? That sounds like a great idea, but can we get her a helmet and protective gear first??? The sooner the better π² Is Grandma trying to get her killed?!?!
