True. Corruption to an extent is acceptable if the cost you pay in bribes makes the work much faster than the legal cost which is aimed at getting more votes than making economic sense.

Here's an idea to foster survival of urban population: fossil fuel corporations should be either lured or forced to move their business models to solid waste processing. mounting demand from megacities is a sustained source of revenue.
Cities should ban conventional cars from the city center. Instead, they should create a fleet of self-driving, electric, one-person, PLASTIC pod-taxis, which would recharge in the pod barn. Need to go somewhere? Summon a pod. Want to visit the city? Park on the edge of the city and summon a pod. The conversion of parking lots/structures to housing/offices WOULD PAY FOR THE FLEET. Pedestrians would be safer (an accident with a plastic, one-person pod would cause less injury than with a heavy, conventional car). Furthermore, the pods would be more predictable than human drivers (no more desperate turns into unoccupied parking spaces!). The pods would densify the city. Eliminating on-street parking would enhance street life.
Free energy made cities bigger but this is about to change with less and less energy available . Before the fossils fuel era so 2 centuries ago the size of the cities were limited by the food supply the surroundings can provide and transport using animals . With the end of the free energy people will have to leave cities and go to the countryside in order to produce themselves their food . Thought ‘ The economist ‘ will dig deeper than trying to explain how unsustainable system will evolve as it is a sustainable one . If you want to invest buy some land in the middle of nowhere and preferably in high latitudes certainly not real estate in cities.
India is always - through the British - selling its failed development models to the global South. In the video, after showing Ahmedabad the video cuts to Lagos. The Brits have no idea, expertise or knowledge of developing economies and their favourite go to region for inspiration is India. I know of no country that has taken inspiration from India and achieved any development progress, including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka... If mobile phones and limited car use is the solution, then its a glaring omission not to mention the Chinese who are building the internet/mobile telephony infrastructure as well as the metro lines in much of the global South from Hanoi to Lagos to Addis Ababa. Even the urban development in S. American cities like Medellin are better examples. Developing countries really have two choices, limit rural-urban migration or expand infrastructure needs. The Chinese have provided a BRI solution for the latter. The French at least are building and financing the Abidjan metro, the Brits are as usual the theoretical experts at everything, and the practical masters of nothing. Instead they parade half-baked ideas from India!
How can a slum be shown as an example of poor city planning after farmers sell to developers? Slums are not built by developers. Also they are not representative of the entire city of Mumbai.

Mixed use buildings (shops, offices, apartments all in the same building) which means travel distances are shorter, as well as making energy use cheaper due to the density.

Iron Swan, these are excellent points. I would also add that dispersion of the population more evenly would decongest urban centres in multiple ways. People in cities are overpaying for everything, including food, clothing and transportation. The noise, the pollution, the growing unaffordability of cities to the bottom 90% of the income-distribution in most countries, the crowds, the traffic, and the risks from not growing one's own food, and/or not eating fresh foods from safe, organic, local sources, are contributing to sickness, to premature deaths, to overwork, to malstressors, to anxiety/depression, and to personal feelings of being in isolation, despite the presence of many other people. The disconnection of people from each other and from Nature contributes to a lack of peace, of joy, of health, and of spirituality.
@@brentshuffler1234 this is so true cities do not increase the standard of living at all the money that u earn does not increase your real income since it all goes to rent and expenses and u end up not only poor but without access to clean air and nature too
And a lack proper urban design (walkability, micromobility, transit). Cars are the most inefficient modes of transportation. So let's just ban cars from entering city centres. Cities are for people, not cars.
Cars are definitely not ideal for commuting purposes as they are highly inefficient. But going on a weekend journey to the country side to enjoy some nature camping requires a car, and doing your entire week's grocery shopping certainly helps to have a car.
San Francisco waste management is nice but most modern mega-cities are in Asia (e.g. Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Tokyo, Seoul), the video would be much more complete if it would show how they are managed
Fantastic video. However I disagree with the focus on composting. This is not a sustainable option in large-scale centralized applications. Centralized composting facilities will not last. They emit methane and nitrous oxide (36 and 298 times more potent than CO2, although not densely concentrated) and they still produce vast amounts of CO2 in this mostly aerobic process. A more sustainable option in the future is to first recover the carbon into a value-added product or biofuel, and then use the residuals as soil amendment (eg. Hydrothermal Liquefaction, Gasification, Pyrolysis, Anaerobic Digestion)
So you are saying all the organic waste,like fruits and vegetables wastes etc shouldn't be left in open to break down on a large to obtain natural fertilizers.
It does not have to. Those gases can quiet easily be captured and either sequestered or used for fuel. They don't just throw it in a giant head and let it rot. It's controlled.
@@rajkishorebehera7489 digestive reactors or modern landfills go through the process of composting while trapping methane for biofuel disposal. This both creates a green fuel and removes methane pollution which is 100 times more potent as a greenhouse gas as co2. The only issue is cost. It is much more green than traditional composting though and can still create compost. They just require tanks or tarps to capture gas
Kevin Clack, that is an interesting perspective. However, some countries and some large cities have done composting well on a large and commercially viable scale. E.g., from Barbados to Las Vegas, there are entrepreneurs who are collecting food and other organic waste from hospitals, from schools, from restaurants, from hotels, from supermarkets to avoid having these valuable resources treated as immediate garbage. Some items can be redirected to supply food-banks, the poor, the homeless. Other items can be composted and turned into soil for farmers and for households, and other outputs can go towards animal-feeds.
I wasn’t aware of what San Francisco was doing with the automated recycling. That is a very cool use of artificial intelligence that I actually am ok with and definitely would like to see that technology be adopted in my city!
Clever and smart people along with technology will help but, the idea and thinking that the economy always has to grow for humans to progress and to be able to survive may need to be reviewed and revised. Presently, if the economy is not growing, it is considered a problem and or a failure. Growing the economy is also thought to be the best way to help end poverty. If a growing economy could end poverty, the most developed and prosperous countries should not have any poverty. This type of thinking cannot continue uninterrupted on a finite planet with finite resources. There needs to be flexibility in the system for the economy to expand and contract and for a contraction to be considered normal and not a problem or a failure. For this type of thinking to work, there needs to be some new economic models developed along with some new types of money and financial systems based on economic sustainability! Not on economic growth!
I'm from Japan. Japan's population has been concentrated in metropolitan areas, especially in Tokyo. I suppose cities in Japan are relatively well-planed and well-organized but, in my opinion, Tokyo is facing the same problem as San Francisco. I feel that it's about time for companies to relocate their headquarters or branches from Tokyo to other areas in Japan, considering we no longer need to commute to offices thanks to the Internet technology. I assume that companies will do this in the near future because they've realized that there was no need to gather employees in one place during the pandemic. This trend could reduce traffic jams and then air pollutions in metropolitan areas. In addition, given that Japan is a country with many earthquakes, decentralization of business or government is quite important.
English Novice, thanks for those excellent observations. Decentralisation and diversification of food-supplies, of energy-supplies, of transportation, of work, of education, of public services, and of other important aspects of society and the economy, would do wonders for improving food-security, energy-security, reliability of supply-chains, reduction of risks from high dependence on metropolitan centres, and empowerment and inclusion of rural, remote, and other communities.
@@MrToritani Having worked with Japanese and their disgusting long working hours, I can only say that despite your nation's industrial progress, Japan is really a messed up nation! I don't consider a city of nearly 40 million people livable, sustainable or durable!!! Houses of 40 m², crowded subways wherever you go! Japan could learn a thing or two from China in terms of City planning and City development.
It's wise to live in small towns or villages. Go to big cities to study and to have fun, but don't get stuck in there for life. The real luxury of life is closer to nature, not to pollution.
It's become clear you cannot build your way out of automobile congestion. Congestion comes down to human tolerance for inconvenience. If you increase capacity of highways, you'll get short term relief from congestion, but it will soon return to jamming up as people who had given up driving return to the automobile. The only way constructing more highways can work is if you construct super-by-pass corridors. Each suburb gets its own highway terminus, with no off ramps in between. Of course politically this doesn't work because the neighborhoods near the city limits get carved up and isolated, and the land given over to a super-by-pass provides zero economic benefits, unlike traditional off ramp / on ramp access which provides some economic stimulus.
Or, hear me out. Instead of running a highway from everywhere we should run public transit. Having a convenient bus route will reduce congestion by huge amounts. Right now in America you can't really live without cars, giving people other options to driving will really reduce car usage. Traffic there isn't a problem of not enough capacity it's a problem because cars are the only option.
@@justahamsterthatcodes I'm not advocating for my idea. It's unworkable, and wasteful. I was only pointing out a way that building more roads would solve congestion.
@@WestOfEarth Yes, but like you said, only briefly. I used to live near DC - we had highways go everywhere in every direction. Once a new road is built, it fills up. People take other roads (often residential or 2 lane) and then those roads have issues and turn into their own highways. Especially in these areas, with the population continuing to grow, the need for roads will only continue.
I read somewhere (perhaps in a comment) that the concept of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) has some drawbacks, and that is why it is not being automatically employed near all the large (urban) waste sources to generate electricity and/or heat. However, I always forget what the disadvantages of such a technology are, as they haven't seemed to be convincing to me yet, and I'm starting to find it suspicious how little WtE is being talked about as a solution to the increasing waste problem.
I understand accepting reality but shouldn't there be an effort to move *away* from city concentration. Half of world population in cities? Wouldn't there be a limit to what technological help can achieve?
There are some assumptions about the superiority of mega cities in the beginning of this clip which are simply not true. Al the advantages are true for smaller cities and in bigger extend. The most creative and wealthiest cities are not (alone) the mega cities, but cities much smaller in size. San Francisco, Boston, Zürich, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Frankfurt to name a few I know. They have all the advantages of mega cities, culturally, universities, jobs, etc. but not the problems concerning housing, traffic jams, crime, health (CO2 smog), al least in much lesser extend. They are much smaller and much more managable and generally more relaxed. A city like Amsterdam is offering more in terms of culture and art of highest level then half of the mega cities mentioned. San Francisco has more IT expertise then all of the megacities in the world. And most megacities would dream to have Boston's MIT or Zürichs ETH or the creativity of Berlin or the high level of life quality of Munich or the fashion and style of Milan. All mentioned cities offer much lower crime rates, has and have at least the same level of job opportunties. I don't know the midsized cities from other continents but I presume you would see a similar image as in Europe or the USA.
@@davidconnelly2008 Hi David, I think at the moment almost all larger cities in the western countries have a housing problem due to the extreme low interest rates. But you can more easily escape this problem in Zürich where I live then for example in London. With just 30 minutes of commuting you have rental prices that are very affordable for most citizens in my example of Zürich. In London you just have to communite for two hours one way to find a affordable appartment. Is it not a problem of the last years in SF ? In New York or Paris, housing was always too expensive for everybody. How is the situation of SF in comparisment to LA for exampe. ? I had a collegue from SF that told me he would never ever move to LA.
The Earth only has the resources for 3 billion people to all live at middle class standards. We are already at 7.9 billion with 10 billion by 2050. Poverty will only get worse.

No matter what happens on Earth, you can be rest assured the Megacities on the moon, Mars and Venus will be much better planned for the future of humanity.
Well, I remember living in the US in my teenage years , in the suburbs, and I felt totally unfree because there was no way to go anywhere without my parents car. Living in Russia before and after I felt definitely totally free because I could go anywhere by myself using public transport.
Car-pool lanes are a failed experiment. Very few people actually change their driving habits to use the car pool lane and so the result is you have a useless lane.
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.
Why not address the waste problem earlier in the chain? Produce less materials that needs to be taken care of. Better packaging, less single use food containers, glass bottles in stead of plastic etc. This is just life support for an unsustainable lifestyle
Big corporations will not like it, but we have the technology to make them food and energy independent. The start-ups bringing that tech to neighborhoods and individuals will be essential for survival. Especially when huge distribution collapses happen. And they will happen.
Interesting propositions - wouldn't it be even greener to deal with waste at source? Where there are homes that can equip themselves with specific bins for sorting waste products and a composting facility, these could be on hand. Where homes do not have the space - eg flats - there could be a communal waste site for recycling/composting. It would be more cost efficient than the full scale and probably more expensive processes. The waste generated is bought with the product - so the immediate disposal should be part of the buyers remit. They could remove packaging at the store and have a facility there for leaving it with the store if the store is not on board with recycling /net zero waste. The problem should be eliminated so that it isn't a problem, not nursed. We don't live in a world that is easily blanketed for some - the negative effects of living in a negative lifestyle affects the planet. L R
Yes, it may be greener and more efficient, but it ignores the reality of people. Getting a mass of individual people to change their behavior, to actually do the work themselves, is a huge hurdle. Most cities and suburban areas have recycling facilities if you're willing and able to sort and drop off yourself. The percentage of people that actually go through that effort is disturbingly low.
@@andrew40in my country every home has four bins: general waste, food waste, paper, and metal/plastic It gets sorted further at the station but much of the work is done already. Most people I know sort their trash, it was rolled out only 4 years ago and people pretty quickly accepted it

I don't think we should be focusing on this problem. we should make housing, food, and energy human right. when we do this, and we can start in places of the modern world with high homelessness like california. my vision is not 1 big city more like 1 city made of smaller self-sustainable districts - which have their own power plant - nuclear fission later fusion. housing can be made more efficiently - small houses, which are easy to build, and repair. to do that we could nest shipping containers into the ground and build around several of those second layers to help protect against weather. we will not need pretty houses anyway since we will be moving to VR. today we have the technology to grow food more efficiently - laboratories can produce meat, and vertical farming can help make vegetables and fruit.
Sustainability should not be the priority for the longterm health of a more urban society. Its an excuse for governments to expand their bureaucracy, taxes and power. What should be prioritize its the potential of individuality in realms of innovation and productivity. Most government's treat their citizen subjects as pawns towards an agenda that most of the time its utopic, unrealized or benefits a few well connected on the top. The rest of society feeds this monster of the state their time and resources for so called stability. Once we realized that we can achieve a more faster and happier growth through a system of less dependence on involuntarily altruism and coercion, our civilization will catapult towards the fourth industrial revolution. This will bring forth the most productive means and solve the greatest problems in our society. Cryptocurrencys, blockchains and smart contracts will lead the charge.

@@brentshuffler1234 this is so true cities do not increase the standard of living at all the money that u earn does not increase your real income since it all goes to rent and expenses and u end up not only poor but without access to clean air and nature too
That's not why megacities exist
I live in Ahmedabad and it's an awesome case study of development.
"Overcrowding", screen shows traffic jam which is a consequence of urban sprawl.
And a lack proper urban design (walkability, micromobility, transit). Cars are the most inefficient modes of transportation. So let's just ban cars from entering city centres. Cities are for people, not cars.
@@NeonNion The thing about cars is, the only thing worse than giving them free rein is to try and get rid of them completely.
Cars are definitely not ideal for commuting purposes as they are highly inefficient. But going on a weekend journey to the country side to enjoy some nature camping requires a car, and doing your entire week's grocery shopping certainly helps to have a car.
San Francisco waste management is nice but most modern mega-cities are in Asia (e.g. Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Tokyo, Seoul), the video would be much more complete if it would show how they are managed

Fantastic video. However I disagree with the focus on composting. This is not a sustainable option in large-scale centralized applications. Centralized composting facilities will not last. They emit methane and nitrous oxide (36 and 298 times more potent than CO2, although not densely concentrated) and they still produce vast amounts of CO2 in this mostly aerobic process.
A more sustainable option in the future is to first recover the carbon into a value-added product or biofuel, and then use the residuals as soil amendment (eg. Hydrothermal Liquefaction, Gasification, Pyrolysis, Anaerobic Digestion)
So you are saying all the organic waste,like fruits and vegetables wastes etc shouldn't be left in open to break down on a large to obtain natural fertilizers.
It does not have to. Those gases can quiet easily be captured and either sequestered or used for fuel. They don't just throw it in a giant head and let it rot. It's controlled.
Did you not listen to the fact they add in stuff that absorbs the greenhouse gasses?
@@rajkishorebehera7489 digestive reactors or modern landfills go through the process of composting while trapping methane for biofuel disposal. This both creates a green fuel and removes methane pollution which is 100 times more potent as a greenhouse gas as co2. The only issue is cost. It is much more green than traditional composting though and can still create compost. They just require tanks or tarps to capture gas
Kevin Clack, that is an interesting perspective. However, some countries and some large cities have done composting well on a large and commercially viable scale. E.g., from Barbados to Las Vegas, there are entrepreneurs who are collecting food and other organic waste from hospitals, from schools, from restaurants, from hotels, from supermarkets to avoid having these valuable resources treated as immediate garbage. Some items can be redirected to supply food-banks, the poor, the homeless. Other items can be composted and turned into soil for farmers and for households, and other outputs can go towards animal-feeds.
I wasn’t aware of what San Francisco was doing with the automated recycling. That is a very cool use of artificial intelligence that I actually am ok with and definitely would like to see that technology be adopted in my city!
Clever and smart people along with technology will help but, the idea and thinking that the economy always has to grow for humans to progress and to be able to survive may need to be reviewed and revised. Presently, if the economy is not growing, it is considered a problem and or a failure. Growing the economy is also thought to be the best way to help end poverty. If a growing economy could end poverty, the most developed and prosperous countries should not have any poverty.
This type of thinking cannot continue uninterrupted on a finite planet with finite resources. There needs to be flexibility in the system for the economy to expand and contract and for a contraction to be considered normal and not a problem or a failure. For this type of thinking to work, there needs to be some new economic models developed along with some new types of money and financial systems based on economic sustainability! Not on economic growth!
building more lanes doesn't help traffic. Solution is public transport and cycling
Not exactly.
First walkability, then public transit.
I'm from Japan. Japan's population has been concentrated in metropolitan areas, especially in Tokyo. I suppose cities in Japan are relatively well-planed and well-organized but, in my opinion, Tokyo is facing the same problem as San Francisco. I feel that it's about time for companies to relocate their headquarters or branches from Tokyo to other areas in Japan, considering we no longer need to commute to offices thanks to the Internet technology.
I assume that companies will do this in the near future because they've realized that there was no need to gather employees in one place during the pandemic.
This trend could reduce traffic jams and then air pollutions in metropolitan areas.
In addition, given that Japan is a country with many earthquakes, decentralization of business or government is quite important.
English Novice, thanks for those excellent observations. Decentralisation and diversification of food-supplies, of energy-supplies, of transportation, of work, of education, of public services, and of other important aspects of society and the economy, would do wonders for improving food-security, energy-security, reliability of supply-chains, reduction of risks from high dependence on metropolitan centres, and empowerment and inclusion of rural, remote, and other communities.
Thank you Brent-san!
@@MrToritani Having worked with Japanese and their disgusting long working hours, I can only say that despite your nation's industrial progress, Japan is really a messed up nation! I don't consider a city of nearly 40 million people livable, sustainable or durable!!! Houses of 40 m², crowded subways wherever you go!

It's become clear you cannot build your way out of automobile congestion. Congestion comes down to human tolerance for inconvenience. If you increase capacity of highways, you'll get short term relief from congestion, but it will soon return to jamming up as people who had given up driving return to the automobile.
The only way constructing more highways can work is if you construct super-by-pass corridors. Each suburb gets its own highway terminus, with no off ramps in between. Of course politically this doesn't work because the neighborhoods near the city limits get carved up and isolated, and the land given over to a super-by-pass provides zero economic benefits, unlike traditional off ramp / on ramp access which provides some economic stimulus.
Or, hear me out. Instead of running a highway from everywhere we should run public transit. Having a convenient bus route will reduce congestion by huge amounts. Right now in America you can't really live without cars, giving people other options to driving will really reduce car usage. Traffic there isn't a problem of not enough capacity it's a problem because cars are the only option.
@@justahamsterthatcodes I'm not advocating for my idea. It's unworkable, and wasteful. I was only pointing out a way that building more roads would solve congestion.
@@WestOfEarth Yes, but like you said, only briefly. I used to live near DC - we had highways go everywhere in every direction. Once a new road is built, it fills up. People take other roads (often residential or 2 lane) and then those roads have issues and turn into their own highways. Especially in these areas, with the population continuing to grow, the need for roads will only continue.
Great planning makes great cities!
In India, it would be how to manage a overrated place with lot of slums.
Looks like a lot of these megacities are on the coast and around the equator. Not sure how to break this to you guys....
I read somewhere (perhaps in a comment) that the concept of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) has some drawbacks, and that is why it is not being automatically employed near all the large (urban) waste sources to generate electricity and/or heat.
However, I always forget what the disadvantages of such a technology are, as they haven't seemed to be convincing to me yet, and I'm starting to find it suspicious how little WtE is being talked about as a solution to the increasing waste problem.
Waste being plastic to energy is the least worst choice of those options. But we need to stop the plastic in the first place.
I understand accepting reality but shouldn't there be an effort to move *away* from city concentration. Half of world population in cities? Wouldn't there be a limit to what technological help can achieve?
Why? People should live in cities and leave more space for nature.
@Свеча so people belong in concrete buildings and trains all day? Not one with nature? Not the ones that can walk and swim in lakes and rivers ?

@@falconJB What's your city?
There are some assumptions about the superiority of mega cities in the beginning of this clip which are simply not true. Al the advantages are true for smaller cities and in bigger extend. The most creative and wealthiest cities are not (alone) the mega cities, but cities much smaller in size. San Francisco, Boston, Zürich, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Frankfurt to name a few I know. They have all the advantages of mega cities, culturally, universities, jobs, etc. but not the problems concerning housing, traffic jams, crime, health (CO2 smog), al least in much lesser extend. They are much smaller and much more managable and generally more relaxed. A city like Amsterdam is offering more in terms of culture and art of highest level then half of the mega cities mentioned. San Francisco has more IT expertise then all of the megacities in the world. And most megacities would dream to have Boston's MIT or Zürichs ETH or the creativity of Berlin or the high level of life quality of Munich or the fashion and style of Milan. All mentioned cities offer much lower crime rates, has and have at least the same level of job opportunties. I don't know the midsized cities from other continents but I presume you would see a similar image as in Europe or the USA.
Yeah I prefer smaller cities like San Diego than the overly crowded Tokyo.
Sorry but San Francisco definitely has a crime and housing problem
@@davidconnelly2008 Hi David, I think at the moment almost all larger cities in the western countries have a housing problem due to the extreme low interest rates. But you can more easily escape this problem in Zürich where I live then for example in London. With just 30 minutes of commuting you have rental prices that are very affordable for most citizens in my example of Zürich. In London you just have to communite for two hours one way to find a affordable appartment. Is it not a problem of the last years in SF ? In New York or Paris, housing was always too expensive for everybody. How is the situation of SF in comparisment to LA for exampe. ? I had a collegue from SF that told me he would never ever move to LA.
But in smaller cities people drive more and use public transport less. You would not find a subway in a small city.

When you look at it from the perspective of an individual's daily life routine, their isn't such a daunting crisis!
Not when people in mega cities realize thier health issues is causing from CO2, from plastic waste, and congession stress.

Car-pool lanes are a failed experiment. Very few people actually change their driving habits to use the car pool lane and so the result is you have a useless lane.
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.
Why not address the waste problem earlier in the chain? Produce less materials that needs to be taken care of. Better packaging, less single use food containers, glass bottles in stead of plastic etc. This is just life support for an unsustainable lifestyle
Let me know when ecosystemic methodology will be a required application amidst the urbanized planet. Waiting for that.

Interesting propositions - wouldn't it be even greener to deal with waste at source? Where there are homes that can equip themselves with specific bins for sorting waste products and a composting facility, these could be on hand. Where homes do not have the space - eg flats - there could be a communal waste site for recycling/composting. It would be more cost efficient than the full scale and probably more expensive processes. The waste generated is bought with the product - so the immediate disposal should be part of the buyers remit. They could remove packaging at the store and have a facility there for leaving it with the store if the store is not on board with recycling /net zero waste. The problem should be eliminated so that it isn't a problem, not nursed. We don't live in a world that is easily blanketed for some - the negative effects of living in a negative lifestyle affects the planet. L R
Yes, it may be greener and more efficient, but it ignores the reality of people. Getting a mass of individual people to change their behavior, to actually do the work themselves, is a huge hurdle. Most cities and suburban areas have recycling facilities if you're willing and able to sort and drop off yourself. The percentage of people that actually go through that effort is disturbingly low.
@@andrew40in my country every home has four bins: general waste, food waste, paper, and metal/plastic
It gets sorted further at the station but much of the work is done already. Most people I know sort their trash, it was rolled out only 4 years ago and people pretty quickly accepted it
