I don't care for her either smh. And at least in the areas around me, I would say we are not wasteful. We have various ways to recycle. We also repurpuse items. We donate. We take home leftovers from restaurants and gatherings so the food doesn't go to waste. Even in small towns and cities, we compost anything compostable. We collect empty boxes from stores to use if moving or to aid in creating more garden and landscaping beds. We have large freezers so we can freeze various food items for later. We can, preserve, smoke, ferment, dehydrate, freeze dry and any other method we can think of to preserve and store food. We enjoy buying handmade items at flee markets and farmers markets to support local small businesses and hobby enthusiasts. And the list goes on and on and on. Just because we don't take containers back to a supermarket doesn't mean it doesn't get recycled. Also, many grocery stores have areas where you can drop off plastic bags for recycling. There's actually a charity that uses plastic bags and the members crochet the bags into mats/blankets for the homeless. Help keep them warm and also dry. I've made this statement about Feli before ..... I don't think she gets out of her bubble of who she's comfortable hanging out with. She's not really very observant. Have a feeling she's the same way when she is in Germany.

Since the pandemic a lot of places state that you should get a new cup to prevent germs from being spread... Also, most people reuse those plastic bags. We use them in our small waste cans at home and use them when you need a bag to just take something somewhere. For instance after family gatherings there are leftovers and the host will give you a bag to carry those leftovers home in, things like that.. The water thing is true in cities though. I live in the country where we have our own well, which is spring fed and the water is very good. In most cities though where you are on "city water" there is a lot of chlorine in it. I have a hard time drinking it actually..

I wonder if anyone has taken her aside to tell her that German bluntness she's talking about is fine in Germany, but she is breaking social norms here. Yes, you are expected to display pleasantries even with your tax accountant, even with your bank loan officer. I wonder if that's why her friends flake on her. As far as recycling goes, this is a massive country. In some places bags at the grocery store cost money. In some states they are illegal, in some states the stores can still give them out. I don't know of anyone who doesn't save their bags for lining trash containers or another use. To say that generally Americans don't care about recycling is a ridiculous statement when she has only lived in one state. Even rural areas in my state has a recycling program.

It's a little interesting to hear her perspective on the whole "professionalism" thing. My experience has taught me that you're formal and follow the other party's lead - if your client or contact is formal, you maintain that formality. I've reached out to town officials that began formally and after a time emailing I begin to get casual positive wishes for weekends or smiley faces or first name basis. Then I adjust my tone accordingly. The "beating around the bush" is so we aren't blunt and "rude", as you mentioned. And despite how awfully "casual" those seem to her, she points out that it's the opposite in public settings, where Americans tend to give people more space, excuse themselves, etc. When someone in Germany may just ignore you or reach right into your "personal bubble". It may just be the cultural difference but it's interesting she's not happy with the warmth and consideration/friendliness in professional settings, but very happy with it in public settings?

Honestly, she kind of pissed me off. I feel like she was unfairly generalizing about Americans when some of the problems she's mentioning are just problems with her and her friend group. No one will help her move? Sounds like an issue with her friend group. Also, I've never once had to store double bag my products without being asked, so I don't think that's a thing that is common whatsoever. Also, no recycling options? Maybe that's just the town she lives in. Recycling varies by towns and regions and usually handled by local legislature, so she probably only has heard about trouble recycling in certain areas, not everywhere. It's really easy where I live. Also wanted to mention that I've never ever been asked to pay an invoice by Venmo by a business. There are always other ways to pay. I have never received a call from my Internet provider late at night from somebody on their cell phone or heard of that happening to anybody else. In general, I think the majority of what she said might apply to SOME people, places and things, but most of it is not really applicable to the nation at large.

I have definitely noticed an erosion of professionalism in service providers over my lifetime. Complete sentences and proper use of capitalization and punctuation are a thing of the past. It's a point I dwell on with my children that proper use of language in business communication will not hurt you in any way. Getting lazy or sloppy and using slang terms, jargon or acronyms that customers or people outside your area of expertise would know, or using emojis or txtspk in business communication can and will work against you. Being on time is free and always appreciated. That too is becoming an epidemic issue in business and relationships. Water quality is slightly variable, but it's more often not quality or safety, but taste. Water from a well is different from water from a lake or river. Minerals in the ground and biological components also effect water taste. We treat water based on need and then chlorinate it at the point it's pumped into the distribution system. Health standards say at the most distant point in the system, there should be a detectable trace of chlorine to assure the water and the pipes remain sanitary. So if you live in a location near a water treatment plant, especially in warmer weather, the initial pre-charge of chlorine may be high enough that you smell it in your home while showering or running hot water for dishes or laundry. Chlorine is a gas, and just like CO2 releasing from carbonated beverages, that gas will be liberated more when it's hot. Recycling efforts are very different from town to town and there is little enforcement. Not every material has a recycling path, and much of that is driven by economic factors. If waste disposal cost more, recycling would be more important to people in everyday life. As it is, the convenience of a disposable packaging and long storage and shelf life of products is more important than what is perceived as a distant effect of individuals throwing away the leftovers of this market-driven society.

With refills, if they are paper with wax coating, most times they won't survive 2 cups. But if they are even a thin plastic cup, I will just reuse it. Plastic bags, I keep telling my partner to stop bagging the 6 packs of Mountain Dew, they have their own carrying component, that allows me to pick up 3x 6 packs in one hand. When a friend asks for help, if I tell them I will be there, I do my best to be 15 minutes early if I can, and clear the rest of the day to help them if all day is needed. Anyone I don't know, trying to be all friendly and using my first name, makes me uneasy, and I am thinking, "Ok, how much or what are you trying to steal from me?" We have multiple trash companies, one for household garbage, 1 for plastic, a small tub for papers, a special call for things like tires and old oil, that is eventually used to make new asphalt roads, then we have our compost piles, ok not a company, but is for making soil for the flower beds and gardens... All in all, I don't have any actual trash to put in the trash bin. Most of it goes to recycling, the rest is composted.

I'm from Cincinnati and even lived near where she lives now as did my brother and his family. This girl exists in a Gen Z bubble within a college/hipster part of town. There are elements of truth to what she said. Having hard water and what the Cincinnati Water Works does to treat it as an example. And Rumpke, who is the largest trash collector/recycler, having policies that I believe discourage recycling (having to peel labels off jars, bottles and cans as an example). But this is not indicative of the entire tri-state area that is Cincinnati. Water is handled by other agencies in Greater Cincinnati outside of the city. And there are other companies and municipalities who are better at encouraging recycling and generally being less wasteful. The problem I have with her is her unawareness that she exists within a microcosm of a microcosm but extrapolates her very limited experience in her very limited sphere. Every time I see something from her I think, "here's something new from the fallacy channel."

All single homes here have curbside recycling-in the area where I live. However, I live in a townhome (condo) and they replaced our recycling dumpster with another garbage dumpster. I could haul all of my stuff to work with me, but I generally don’t. In the area where I grew up, they stopped accepting certain types of recycling because it cost the county so much to dispose of it. I think there is waste in most first world countries. I try hard to not waste things on principle, but also because I definitely don’t have a high income, so I re-use, re-purpose, or make-do for everything I can. I freely admit that I don’t use greeting stuff in emails for most things. My business emails are generally a way to put communication in writing to coworkers and I don’t waste words or time. My personal emails are generally a bit more formal because I am dealing with someone I don’t already know. I suspect that a lot of her complaints about communication is because it’s a fast paced life in most places in the US, and we don’t ask after your entire family’s health when we don’t care and just get to the point. And, yes, we like our personal space!

But back in the day, the process of making 1 Reuseable grocery bag has the same environmental impact as using roughly 10,000 single use plastic bags. So......

I agree with the wastefulness, but also want to say that MANY of us in the US don't buy new stuff constantly. Our youngest son & his wife avoid using plastic pretty much no matter what. By the way, I never use, "America" for the US, even though it is common. To me, America is North America -- Canada & the US. Central America -- Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama. South America -- Mexico to the tip of Argentina -- Patagonia. I'm certain I missed some -- I studied the Spanish language from around grade 5, though 4 years of university. Wasn't my major in uni, but I always felt that if I didn't have a Spanish class, something was missing. I used to be able to ID every country from Mexico to the top of Argentina. Got good with different accents, depending on where my teacher\professor was fun. Including Castilian. I am very old & most of that knowledge is gone. Can still converse in basic Spanish, si la persona habla mas despacio. One summer job during uni, many of my coworkers spoke Spanish. I was shy about speaking. One afternoon, we had customers who were softly speaking, talking about what certain items were. Without thinking, I started helping them. In Spanish. Dead silence as the word spread. The tall gringa speaks Spanish!?!?! After that, I started making friends with my coworkers. Blessings, all.

FYI, in many states you have to buy bags or bring your own. She has shitty friends. When my friends say that they'll show up, they do. Americans are independent but they also will take care of each other...except perhaps her generation...I find the younger generation is truly the "me" generation. I found in Germany that people were too formal and did not treat strangers well. By the way, we recycle everything in California but have discovered that, although we recycle our trash, only about 10% of the trash recycled can be used. IN fact, China stopped taking our recycling because they can't make money off of recycling. Recycling is a sham, most of it doesn't get recycled.

I actually agree with her about America being set up in such a way that being wasteful is often the easier/cheaper choice. I wish it weren't the case but I could point to a million examples - things like buying bottled water is cheaper if you by a case of single use bottles rather than the large dispenser size bottle or even the gallon jugs - How does that make sense to be more expensive when it's less packaging? I don't know about where she is at in the USA but here in NJ, we have recycling bins next to the trash bins in most places and most people choose to recycle and use reusable bags for shopping etc (although now we made a law about the bags too). Maybe it's a difference in our generations but anyone that makes plans they don't keep more than once, won't have friends very long here in the northeast. People don't have time to mess with wishy/washy people like that here.

A river runs through their town And the small Old Town -- down town -- is a great place to explore on foot. Our suburban neighborhood in Southern California is VERY walkable. ALWAYS neighbors walking by, often with dogs. Every day, early AM to late evening. One family has been getting a city permit & having a big block party at the bottom of our street. Our neighborhood is a bit "hilly." None of the sheets are long, & all "single family dwellings." Meaning no apartments nor condos. Only 1 bus runs if someone needs to use public transportation, so NOT ideal. We have a lot of parks, a beautiful public library, newer senior center. Also, a large Free Clinic (for all healhcare needs. Sliding fee schedule based on income). Also, both a large, newer building for folks who access the county healthcare system -- I am retired Registered Nurse, I wor8 for our County for the last 17 years of my 40 year career.

Uh...I mean, all the States and even counties/towns etc. are different. But I would never say "recycling here is that difficult". I will say I have never been in a single state or town that doesn't recyle , or a grocery store that doesn't offer or at least stock reusable bags. My particular state charges for using plastic (controversial) and incentivizes recycling by paying people for turning in empty plastic or metal cans and bottles. There are areas that charge you hundreds for littering - whether it be a trash bag or a single item. As for moving...It sounds more like an issue with her particular friend group? And also potentially a difference in culture. I don't know if this is still true but my understanding is that in Germany when you move flats you're expected to take almost everything with you, including like...cabinets and the like. That would make sense that you'd need a large dedicated friend group to help! With America, your friends will help but it's sort of more casual and it's expected you'd offer a polite compensation for their effort and time - "help me get this huge, inconvenient sofa or couch up the stairs because I can't do it alone, and I'll offer a pizza/repayment in exchange" is a common 'trope' or example.

Life starts happening and going to a class you signed up two months ago may not be the priority that day. I also belong to a retired educator's group, and I do not register for classes on the days we meet. It is my priority for those days. If I cannot attend, there is a very good reason.

I've lived in Savannah, GA, just outside of Fort Lauderdale, FL and Jacksonville, FL. They issued us a recycling bin for free and we use it all the time. Plus most places have a container for recyclables and trash. I think she might just be overly environmentally aware. Most Americans I would say are not overly worried about environmental impacts like she is. Our concern is more centered around industrial environmental impacts like factories etc.

We're just skeptical. I make the effort to recycle everything possible that goes to the trash. Obviously though, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that turning trash into treasure is always costly. Too expensive for my county who were caught dumping recycling into the exact same land fill as the trash🙄. What exactly is the motivation to sort my trash?

Feli isn't correct on a lot of her points, but I think she's had some bad situations have had happened to her that has made her feel this way...

She is pretty chill for a German. We use our grocery store plastic bags as free small trash can liners. Live and let live is a good policy. Her friends sound a bit sketchy, people help their friends move all the time. Her communication complaints seem to be a Gen Z problem, and remember she does live in a big city where people are not the same as in rural areas. Water quality varies greatly across the country.

I honor Feli’s perspective and agree that there is some truth to her critiques. Every coin has another side, and although there are great things about America, there are certainly areas that need improvement. I find that many of these comments simply want to disagree with her, instead of actually addressing what she is saying. It’s important to see all sides and to have balance in how we view things, even if it doesn’t feel warm and fuzzy. I do not feel she was coming from a mean-spirited space.

She is coming from an ignorant space. She assumes just because something is done in a certain way in a region, it's the same all over the US. That's what the major complaints are about, not HATE as you wrongly assume.

@@catherinelw9365 Ok. I haven’t been to every state or region in my own country, yet I can understand how she came to her opinions. My “hate” statement was an aside. I changed the wording, as to not be confusing. For me, it feels like ppl do not want any criticism but are all for the wonderful traits all day.

I agree with some of what she said. Yes, most Americans recycle at home-- but not at the office. And businesses dump paper into landfills like crazy. Carbon footprint is just not in the forefront of people's minds. Also, I do agree that many Americans are selfish. They will say all the right things, but not show up. Of course this depends on culture and how tight a relationship you have. Being friendly is not the same as being friends. Every state is different, of course. So she's in Ohio? I have no idea. But I live in the wilds of Oregon and you do get so-called professionals who do a service for you and then just name a total price without any breakdown. I once had some guy clean my driveway. He worked on it for 2 hours and wanted $180. I asked him how much he charges per hour for labor. He replied that he charges per job rather than per hour. (that's $90/hour folks). He also added that he couldn't make a living if he charged per hour. I consider that a scam and most Americans will just accept it. So I can see that people don't understand her straightforwardness.
