Its sort of happening hard like that but companies are resilient. According to the news, in the Philippines they are asking people to work from home and reduce energy use. It's a beautiful country but you can see evidence of industry everywhere you go. Candy wrappers and bags on the street, etc etc. In most neighborhoods you see people sweeping like they do in Mexico. But roads, rivers are covered in trash unless they are part of the tourism industry. It much worse in India from what I can tell. So if that is being reduced, hopefully it will just stop happening.
I’ve been in Indonesia and it’s like that. Lots of rubbish everywhere. What is encouraging is that there appears to be a campaign to recycle and clean up. Some places are a fair bit cleaner now but you still see some flagrant rubbish tossers out and about.
