Santana feat. Chad Kroeger – “Into the Night” ↗
watching various videos (renovations and anime) out of Japan and seeing again references to Japan’s rather thorough trash sorting system – burnables head to the incinerator for energy generation, various levels of recyclables, and oversized or excess which you haul to the facility yourself and get charged by weight – the rules may seem complex to outsiders, but they’ve grown up with them, they’re just second nature at this point – westerners like to make breathless videos about the complexity whereas in Japanese media, it gets, at most, an offhand comment to the protagonist to remember it’s recyclables day
on the flip side, I get a headache just thinking about trying to implement such a system in the US – the amount of whinging would be off the charts – and yet, as a kid, I can remember doing just that – we had four color-coded recyclable bins for paper, glass, metal, and plastic – we used to sort garbage without a second thought
