"The more developed they are, the more rigid rules on the environment might they have." This idea had been in my mind for a long time and settled down as a kind of truth to me.
Surprisingly, Americans are so accustomed to the disposables. It is true that people tend to consult their convenience, yet Americans do too much. This extravagant consuming of the disposable might be attributed to their party-custom. Parties and picnics seem their daily lives. I have observed a lot of parties from school, houses, and neighboring parks. Food is indispensable to parties. To hold food, some kitchen utensils such as plates, bowls, cups, forks, knives, and spoons are also needed, and those are usually the disposables.
Most Americans do not look to care about a waste. The disposables overflow the trash cans at the park. The picnickers leave a lot of litter without grouping behind them. They seem to have as little consideration as we do or even less. Honestly, we prefer to paper cups and plates in outdoor activities. But, after meeting, we try to sort the recycling from the sweeping.
Besides the disposables from household, paper cups and plates from the restaurant fill up the garbage can. Marvelously, unlike Korean family taking the lunch box with them to the amusement park, Americans get their lunch from the fast food restaurant. Fast food restaurants also use the disposable utensils so the disposable waste doubles. American's everyday life can not be described but the disposables in exaggeration.
Americans has gotten so familiar with disposables that they could not stop utilizing those conveniences. I came to know why U.S. has not signed Tokyo Protocol or similar environment policies. It costs U.S. tremendous money.
