We were in full compliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Only 205 ! There are many Thousands of Business,s that are " Dumping Waste " onto the land, and into Water Courses. Every recycle business will dump its waste that has no value. And by Dumping, its not just throwing it into a Field , it also is burnt and dissolved in Acids. And I mean every guy with a pickup truck, every guy with a Tuk-Tuk, and probably the guys that clear your trash from your Moo-Ban or Condo. Thailand has a really huge issue with waste Management. Thats why they are rated as NO 6 on the Planet for Pollution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
