Where No City Has Gone Before: San Francisco Will Be World's First Zero-Waste Town by 2020

[Hell Hath No Fury]

4. I live in San Francisco --

and have seen firsthand the lack of concern about disposing of personal garbage in a proper way. There seems to be a generational thing going on with it -- I was taught to place my garbage in a city can or, if one was not available, keep it in my pocket until I could find one. The key word here being "taught". Also, I hate to say it, but I see a class divide on who uses the city cans vs. who just drops their shit on the sidewalk. I am a bit of a Litter Nazi and it makes me mental to see someone who is literally standing three feet from a city can but who finishes their chips and dumps the bag on the street.

But I am damned proud of our recycling record here.
