Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA?

With respect to Japan, there’s definitely a culture difference, but I don’t think it’s the consumerism/waste culture. There’s so much excess packaging in Japanese food products.

Yeah, but do they wolf down a half pound of meat plus fried potatoes and a half gallon of sugar water four times a day in Japan?

    Yes, the KFC with fries in Japan. That’s totally what I meant.

Yeah, East Asia doesn’t even try to minimise packaging. Environmentalism just isn’t the same there or something.

I might be wrong, but I assume that the food packaging is a necessity because of the extreme humidity, otherwise it will spoil very fast.

  Packaging is fine, but it’s multiple layers sometimes. I feel it’s more for presentation than function.
