globalize the way we eat! save the trees The Chinese, it seems, are destroying their trees for thow away chopsticks and there is building concern that they should recycle their eating utensils.
Why not globalize and we can all simply use our hands?
The sides of China's railways are litered with those styrofoam boxes and plastic bags. Once when I was riding a train in China, I had collected all of my garbage (from my lunch, etc) into a plastic bag and hung it by the window intending to throw it in a trash can when I got to the station. The cleaning woman came by, saw my little garbage bag and chucked it out the window. A lot of attitudes remain to be changed in China. But younger people there tend to be better educated than the previous generation. Things are changing there.

I had exactly the same experience in Colombia. I was shocked by the easy and indifference people would throw trash into the most beautiful naturre reserves.
