Hong Kong

Ubiquitous, these baskets have been found everywhere in Hong Kong for years. I mean everywhere. It is likely the most repeated object I have yet to see in any country. They were at the street markets, in food shops, pharmacies, pet stores, but most notably, they were used at construction and deconstruction sites to handle the debris before being lugged to a waiting truck. We suspect the debris end up in the sea as part of the (in)famous land reclamation going on. Over 10% of the developed land area in Hong Kong has been reclaimed from the sea and efforts are continuing every day. It's really a wonder in engineering, the only uncertainty is they are not sure how the environment will be affected, particularly the groundwater... what had access to the sea is now land-locked.
