> in my experience Americans are Nazis about littering and recycling I don't know about that. I've seen many a poorly sorted recycle bin in my life. Americans are definitely in the upper quartile, maybe even the upper decile, of the world as a whole. Among the developed world the country may be just about average. I believe glass recycling is segregated by color in some countries in Europe. And they take that really seriously. | ||

American recycling in a lot of major cities is single-stream - aka you put all recycling together and a central plant sorts it for you. More efficient, more accurate, and it encourages more people to recycle since it's extremely easy. | ||
