I think the biggest change is mostly in perception. Old plastic bags were lighter and blew around so they were very visible. The newer heavier "reusable" plastic bags use a significant amount more of plastic - they are heavy enough to stay near where they get dropped and sink to the bottoms of puddles. You don't see them floating around in the wind but they still get littered a ton.
- seoulmetro 2y agoThis sounds like the UK. In the UK everything is slightly dirty, but then there are these significant piles of garbage that just go unattended and grow in size. I think it shocked me when I first moved there. Years of rubbish in some areas, months in others, and it would be right in front of peoples houses and parks. The UK really got left behind in terms of quality of life at some point. GDP doesn't buy nice living. I'm sure it's similar in other parts of (wealthy) Europe.
- vel0city 2y agoWhy do people dump litter like this? I can't even really comprehend it in a developed country.
