Why is trash everywhere?

New York City, one of the world’s most beautiful cities from afar, doesn’t look as good up close. How has garbage taken control of this iconic American metropolis, and what does it say about America’s culture today? After paying consultants $4 million to determine whether trash piles would be better kept inside containers, New York City is preparing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars buying $500,000 European garbage trucks that can pick up trash from the side. The thing is, this isn’t an infrastructure problem. It’s a mindset problem. Come with me to Tokyo, Japan and Singapore to see what it looks like when people respect the places they live. #newyork #nyc #newyorkcity #tokyo #japan #singapore #america
