India got thrashed - so why am I happy ?

Re: India got thrashed - so why am I happy ?

I'm just wondering do the educated also not care about garbage being thrown in India's waterways and streets or do they also contribute to it without really thinking about it much. My cousins throw picnic garbage right on the beach but I felt so weird doing it yet I didn't want to say anything to them and it's really not my place to give them a lecture. But that garbage would go into the waterways and pollute the drinking water even more and cause problems in the gutters :(

just on a side note, I was wondering if there are any reputable, legitimate charities/organizations that promote literacy in India? Always wanted to donate money but i'm hoping it'll go to the schools rather than being pocketed by the organizers
