The whole idea plastic waste is bad doesn’t seem to have made it over to Asia.
Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic.

Japan has made baby steps, while they still wrap individual bananas, many stores charge for a plastic bag, discouraging use.
The younger folk here in Cambodia seem to care about the environment, old folks just throw trash wherever.

When we wrap out books, it’s usually manga. But it’s weird for Tsutaya of all stores to do it because the ones here aren’t wrapped and they were the first to promote customers to read before purchasing.

I only saw hentai books wrapped in plastic in Japan but I didn’t go to many bookstores while there.
