Actually, this is my seventh in the series. I think it's only the third or fourth that I put in my blog.
This one features scratch-n-sniff phone cards. Most people in Kenya use pay-as-you-go phone cards with no contracts. The vast majority of people buy 100 shilling cards from Safaricom. Only about 10% of the cards discarded by the side of the road are from the competition, CelTel. Does this indicate that CelTel customers are less likely to litter or just that there are fewer CelTel customers? I think both are true.
One thing is true - CelTel customers are more likely to pick up discarded phone cards than Safaricom customers. (Yes, as in, I am a CelTel customer, and I am the only one in the country who has ever picked up that many spent phone cards!)
If you double-click on the image, you can see it a little bigger.

I love this Paul. Seriously - you've got to publish your total collection.
Scratch & sniff phone cards?? What do they smell like?? LOL.
Well, this may apply to Celtel cards, but I think I've collected more cards than you! :-)
