I mean... no where I personally traveled in Indonesia had trash service. Maybe Jakarta and Java do, IDK. But it’s REALLY common to just dump your trash behind your place and burn it. It’s just what you do.

Malaysia was better, but I’m sure people there and in Taiwan still burn trash.

Asking people who are still burning trash to recycle might be a step too far just yet.

Of course they have the ability to recycle. They even have the ability to be 100% sustainable (e.g. Costa Rica). My point was on the matter of anthropocene blame culture.
