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.
Ellen Shapiro@mergesort *requires a cultural taboo against littering. We live next to a diner and when we replaced our fence, the ~decade of trash between the fence and the concrete of the diner’s slightly higher parking lot was absolutely horrendous.
Brian Cordan Young@designatednerd @mergesort it was a pastime of my older brother to go walk around “beer can hill” when we were kids. He built up an impressive collection of vintage cans. It was well in to my adulthood that I stopped to think about why the hell that hill was filled with so many cans! Our culture is definitely not starting from a place where littering was taboo.
Ok. I am a gen-x-er. We have advanced some since then.
(The hill was by a freeway. That leads to more questions about beer cans)
