It is possible for a country like America to build an intolerance for litter the way Japan has… it’s certainly driven a mindset, but it is possible to shift mindsets and it’s insane how short-sighted and pessimistic some Americans are. You’ll get people from all walks of American life naysaying that we could control our litter and waste problem- simply because people are too addicted to consumerism or whatever. Many of those same fucks will describe America as the freest and most liberty-loving country in the world, but the simple act of deliberate littering is, no matter how large or small, a direct offense to the concept of liberty- foisting a problem solely crated by one’s own desires onto a mass of unknown others.
