I’m still thinking about how Japan solved the problem of trash on the streets with one simple hack: don’t have trash cans. Now you have to throw stuff out in your own home, which means you don’t do things in public that would generate trash, and everyone has cleaner streets. Truly mind blowing shit.
There are a few good replies to this and the way I wrote this was ambiguous. I didn’t mean to imply they came in and got rid of trash cans so people stopped making a mess, but that counterintuitively the effect of not having a place to dispose of trash is that the streets are cleaner. (I wrote my until post as I walked by an overflowing trash can that was leaving garbage on the streets.)
i am root@mergesort I think that is probably still the wrong conclusion. Try it in America and see what happens.
@null That’s my point. 🙂
