Excellent article! I especially appreciated the connection of the personal responsibility for one's waste to "adulting" in general. (you know it's problematic when a word had to be invented for not remaining a perpetual petulant child, which is assumed to be the default behaviour) Another aspect that really follows immediately for accepting one's garbage responsibility: maybe don't buy all that shit from corporate vendors in the first place? That's another Japanese tradition: pack your own lunch in a reusable container. Of course, that's also not a part of the internet brain damaged era...
