In a viral Instagram reel, Joey (known as 'homeless.digitalnomad') has brought attention to India's littering crisis, showcasing the prevalence of plastic waste and garbage in public spaces. His blunt message, 'PICK UP YOUR TRASH This is shameful,' challenges the notion that Indians are unaware of the consequences of littering. Joey asserts that even educated individuals contribute to the problem, believing that it is the responsibility of others, such as government workers, to clean up after them.
