This! I don't know how they incentivize it. Maybe it's just culture and volunteering but there are so many neighborhoods in SF that really need to be cleaned up and would be cleaned up in Tokyo but aren't here because "not my responsibility"? Everyone assumes it's the city's. Maybe it is? Maybe it should be? Maybe it shouldn't? I kind of wish there was some other way to make it happen.
- 93po 5y agoI've heard a lot of stories of older Japanese people being extremely trash-conscious. The stories I've read are typically Americans living in Japan and getting trash-shamed by an elderly neighbor because they mis-sorted a single can or left a wrapper on a water bottle. The context being that the Japanese person is constantly double checking the American garbage assuming they're going to mess it up.
