Happy New Year from Vietnam!

This year, I am committed to continue to educate the public about environmental issues, especially that of marine litter and waste management, while reducing my own carbon, plastic, and garbage footprints. :)

What's your new year resolution?

[LetsTalkButts @TalkButts]

My friend Matt entertained all of us with this hilarious gesture when I yelled at him to "throw out his butt!" 😂

Thank you for all your support this past year! Merry Christmas everyone!

One of the hardest things to adjust to in Vietnam was the excessive use of single-use plastic. These bananas were found at a 7-11 in Saigon. Is it necessary?

Rethinking, Re-design, and Reuse instead of Recycling, and add some colours to the otherwise boring background ❤️

When you toss something into the ♻️ have you ever 💭 about what happens to it? This is how the Vietnamese transport their recycling in the big tourist town of Nha Trang. Recycling, in all capacities, uses energy and creates pollution.

Think beyond recycling!

When I go to the 🏖️, I search for two things: garbage and life. I often wondered if tourists made the connection between marine litter, life, and the 🦀🦐🦞 they consume; if locals were able to draw the lines between illegal dumping, their livelihoods, and the economy.

Waste baskets in Vietnam which encourage visitors not to litter, along with a simple and cute ashtray for cigarettes. Anti-litter work can start with some creativity. :)

The @letstalkbutts campaign has officially wrapped up its field season this year.

I would also like to encourage everyone to continue to pick up and document litter through @litterati regularly!

While going through my travel photos, I found this cigarette butt photo taken in the beautiful Georgetown, Malaysia. As to the meaning of this street art, it's up to your own interpretation :)

Some cigarette packs have TerraCycle symbols asking smokers to recycle!

Do you think smokers should be better educated on how to dispose of their cigarette waste?Do you have any l education ideas?Post in the comments👇

Hemp can also be used as cigarette butts and reduce the amount of plastic entered into our environment!

Sometimes education requires a creative approach. The Japanese have adopted a creative signage system to tackle the cigarette butt litter issue.
