The Youth of Vietnam React to the Condom Recycling Ring Bust

And it’s GOLD

Maybe you skimmed past it thinking it was some sort of joke. Perhaps you thought it was the more traditional, legitimate kind of recycling, and hey recycling, that’s a good thing whats all the fuss about?

The Vietnamese are masters of reusing and upcycling, I am a fierce defender of that very fact, I would go so far to say that the rest of the world could learn a thing or two from their resourcefulness.

And yet here we are Vietnam, hitting the International news for recycling and it’s all wrong, it’s for all the wrong reasons again damn it.

What has been fascinating (apart from the story itself) and also pretty hilarious, is how Vietnam has responded, especially the younger generation.

So allow me to share the full unabridged story with added commentary from one of my favourite threads.

The owner of the facility Pham Thi Thanh Ngoc, from Nghe An Province, which is in the North.

Note how it’s always important to mention the province to show she is not from the South, she is indeed an interloper!
