Don't litter! This national park will ship your garbage back to you
Littering is becoming a huge problem because of garbage showing up everywhere in the world including microplastics. Now, one national park near Bangkok is determined to do something about it.
All visitors to the park must register their address when entering.
The park has started a new initiative where they will be sending trash back to polluters who will also be registered with the police.
However, littering in a national park in Thailand is also an offense that is punishable with up to five years in prison and some pretty hefty fines. If this seems to be too severe for such a small act it should be noted that animals often eat leftover trash and die from it. We have all seen the devastating pictures of animals found with a bunch of trash in their stomachs and have often wondered when someone was going to do something about it.
