Numbers are misleading.  When I lived in Germany, I had the feeling that I was in a wealthier country.  Maybe that was because,in part, there weren't any what we would call slums.  When I came back to the U.S., the first thing I noticed was trash everywhere. It was there all along, I just hadn't noticed. What a culture shot.

Maybe things have changed.  I haven't been there in 20 years.

Still trashy as you noted.  Canada has a $2,000.00 fine for littering which keeps it very clean( I was impressed!)   Being American probably means that we have the highest quantity of plastic in our landfills compared to the rest of the world.  Our resource of the future?

I meant I hadn't been in Germany in 20 years.
