RE: Making a small effort

Just planting an idea in your head that will make you famous: Collect a heap of trash like that (when you come across something like that again), but do it like scientists do, complete with gloves and forensic bags used for gathering evidence. Take it home, start a crowdfunding campaign to pay for lab costs, then send the trash to a lab for fingerprints, DNA on there, etc. Basically, hunt down environmental killers while blogging or vlogging about it. Play sleuth, find the dumpsters. Such a mission will go viral, get you onto the news, and get those trashers caught, as a warning to others. It will send a message that ordinary people care for our planet, and won't wait for the cops to catch such criminals any longer.

This is an awesome concept ... Just keeps me wondering what someone like me in Africa could do about these kinds of things in Africa

I have to give that a thought. But your basically right! That could be a great hobby.

and won't wait for the cops to catch such criminals any longer.
My city has a feature in its smartphone for report things like that. But I know places which are worse than this and reported them, nothing happened so far. I think they implemented it like this:

!ALIVE - damn it haven't enough yet -.-

@master-lamps, sorry! You need more $ALIVE to use this command.

The minimum requirement is 1000.0 ALIVE staked.

More $ALIVE is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex

The police rarely really put in effort to catch 'small' criminals. Yet, it's those small crimes that people get away with, that lead them to believe bigger crimes are okay too. When citizens themselves tackle such small criminals, it is a better deterrent than when the police hunt them down. I'm grateful for the efforts you took, and by blogging about it, it shows them thrashers there are people noticing their piggy behavior.
