Japanese Trash Bags

Back in America, we believe in throwing everything away into one

single trash bag. It's all going to the trash, so just throw it away.

However, in Japan, one not only has to take care of one's own trash,

but sort it. In the US, we put things into recycling or trash. Here,

we need to put the burnable into the green bag and non-burnable into

the orange. I need to think twice before putting something into the

trash. Different culture norms.
