Someone has to be paid to pick it up, and money has to spent to clean and dredge the waterways, this in turn raises taxes. If we fine them steeply, then taxes won't have to be raised to pay for cleanup projects.

'We' run this show now?

More than 600 volunteers from state institutions, the private sector and civil society organisations (CSOs), predominantly young people, gathered to celebrate World Cleanup Day on September 17 to draw public attention to the major waste problem that is affecting the planet.

World Cleanup Day has been celebrated in Cambodia every year since 2018. The day was established by the Let’s Do It World NGO from Estonia, and 180 countries now participate each year.

The NGO River Ocean Cleanup announced on September 17 that to celebrate this year’s day, the volunteers would clear up riverfront area on the Chroy Changvar peninsula near Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel. A German-designed garbage collection boat would clean up the river.

On September 17, the Ministry of Tourism also organised a campaign themed “Clean Cambodia, Green Cambodia: Celebrate World Cleanup Day”, which was attended by environment ministry officials and about 300 stakeholders.

Ken Serey Ratha, director-general of the environment ministry’s General Directorate of Environmental Knowledge and Information who participated in the campaign, said socio-economic growth in all areas had made people’s lives more prosperous and demanded a more civilised, beautiful, clean and green environment.

He said his general directorate has been organising a programme to “change the mindset of some Cambodian people so that they understand and participate in the implementation of environmental friendliness”.

Why put it at the bottom?
I'd put it at the top to catch their attention.

Could do but wouldn't the following order make more sense.

*Love your country? Keep it clean!*

4 cartoons explaining that littering makes the flooding worse. With the last cartoon showing happy people with a clean street (They'll hopefully understand the cartoon and connect to dots)

And after say

*a cleaner Cambodia starts with you*
