Litter problem

Litter has been an obvious problem every year we've come to Kenya. It's not like there's house to house trash pick up like in the US. So you see litter everywhere along the streets. It often gets burned to get rid of it. It's not terribly unusual to see small trash fires along the side of the road and to smell burning plastic. The first and third photos show litter. The second shows dark spots that are the ash remains of small trash fires.

Environmental awareness has begun to reach the masses in Kenya. The fourth picture shows a sign in Nakumatt that wasn't there last year. I've also seen reusable bags for sale although I haven't seen anyone using them.
