Bangkok needs to recycle

Recycling: Good or Bad? There are a lot of arguments out there for and against recycling but whatever you think of it, it has found its way to being well and truly ingrained into our lives. In the UK, where I am from, there is a huge push for recycling products. When I was growing […]
