People here set up donation boxes, swap shops, create food banks, organize markets, create safe spaces for minority groups, community gardens … mostly volunteering time
In India, we chain the jugs we use in toilets of rails and I have seen banks tie their pens to walls, so, we can’t have nice things when we’re so goddamn poor and have 0 civic sense or a bad culture :(
But it sounds pretty nice! I have heard of Swiss honest boxes where people self-checkout and pay for the items they are taking away from the shelves, there are no cameras, there is no one keeping watch, but the whole system depends on trust! When I told my rich well-to-do Indian friend about this and how it would never work over here, she said “yeah, I would just take away stuff and not pay for it” (kinda made my blood boil, this is why we can’t have nice things lol)
PS: Thank you very much for your well-wishes! Means a lot! :)
