you know.... ever since we moved to the states i always thought. damn,.. americans are such wasteful people (and they are).! i mean, they throw away pretty much new clothes, then you find practically new furniture in the dumpsters... it is a society of wasting wasting wasting.... with the idea that instead of fixing something or using something again and again and again you should just buy something new, and that some things you can just use a couple of times and then you can dispose of them. Well, honestly I had not seen anything like that until I came to korea.
During my stay here I have realized that koreans are just as wasteful people. Maybe not so much with things such as clothing but other stuff... definitely. I mean, it is not strange at all to see perfectly fine sofas, chairs, tables, house items etc out in the dumpster just cuz people dont want them anymore. I just dont understand how someone can waste stuff like that.
It was shocking, two of my friends from korea, jennyfer and nick practically furnished half of their apartment with stuff they found on the streets. And its nice stuff! I mean.... you would have never guessed that someone had just thrown in away and they had picked it up. Anywho... so yeah, just so you people know out there, the USA is not the only country that throws away shit for nothing
