Hong Kong is known for many things.
Dim Sum, shopping at 女人街 (Ladies Market), Hong Kong Disneyland, and many more.
But recently one more thing is probably topping all of that.
Hong Kong Extradition Bill Protest
You’ve probably guessed it already. Either from the recent news or from our article title. And the section heading.
That’s right, the extradition bill protest.
If you need to catch up or learn more, we have a neat little article for you here.
With some of the larger protests clocking over one million people involved, one can only imagine the scale of the chaos over at Hong Kong.
Even photos would hardly do it justice.
Trash Left Over Afterwards(?)
If you’re one of those who likes to think about consequences, accountability, and the environment, maybe you would have had one concern.
With that many people clamouring in the streets, wouldn’t the trash left behind be horrifying?
Okay, I’ll show you a photo of what the streets look like now.
Are you ready?
I hope you are.
Here it is…
“Umm, who’s this trash writer at Goody Feed? He attached a wrong photo. This is a photo of a normal empty clean street.”
Nope, this isn’t a wrong photo. This is exactly what the streets look like now.
After the protests on Sunday (16 June 2019), the protestors took it upon themselves to clean up afterwards.
Occupiers are doing one last sweep for rubbish. 2 million people marched here yesterday, it was occupied all night, and there isn’t a scrap of rubbish on the road. #HK people…! pic.twitter.com/JE8D4f4iCL

It's 2:30am and they have teams walking through the protest site with giant garbage bags and collecting rubbish.

If you keep up well with news from Hong Kong, maybe you wouldn’t be so surprised by this.
After all, Hong Kong has had a good reputation with cleaning up. The country’s youths have cleaned up after the riot on June 12 themselves.
They had also previously cleaned up 3 tonnes of trash on Earth Day last year.
Maybe all of us who litter the streets after a race event, a party, or in our everyday lives, can learn a thing or two from them.
Over in TikTok, there’s a drama involving property agents that’s caused by us. Here’s what happened:
