Clean as you go

Although fast food restaurant chains and convenience stores with eating areas have people to clean up tables after being used by their customers, I believe it would be a good idea if they adapt a Clean As You Go policy to promote the habit of cleanliness and culture of courtesy among Filipinos.

It is dispiriting to see many people, young and old, rich or poor mindlessly throwing their trash just about anywhere as if they treat the whole country as a big garbage dump. They do this thinking that there are people who will clean up their mess.

But this is wrong thinking and maybe in the interest of cleaner and healthier nation, the fast food restaurants and convenience store can help change this.
