Now, shall we move to abroad and see how it looks like?
I have known a young Thai man who is studying in the city of Guildford, about a 45-minute ride by train from London. He’s also part of our assistance.
Recently, he sent me a group of pictures as you can see. It’s a parking space in front of a sports centre.
What you see are:
1. The priority parking is totally free of use while those ordinary lots are so full.
2. Well design: clear marks and colours.
“Developed Country”…the word alone tells us something. Since my childhood, I’d been hearing people defining our country as “Developing Country”. Now that I’m approaching an elderly age and what they defined hasn’t changed. The status ‘developing country’ still remains (strongly?).
A social problem, like the misuse of priority parking by ineligible ones, reflects precisely the level of social standard we are and implies a great challenge we need to overcome together.
We need to give our hands, spread and share what we suffer. You can begin with your surrounding environment, your family, your friends, your neighbors, to create a sense of collective social responsibility. Please remember that only a click of your share, but done collectively, can increase public awareness powerfully to another level. It’s also one of the easiest and fastest things you can do now.
