I’m not sure that it’s fair to say, but sometimes I feel like we desis are much less likely to worry about things like global warming, energy conservation, recycling etc, etc.

I just wanted to bring to everyone’s attention the magnitude of the plastics and waste issue. Have a look at this:

5 Gyres – Understanding Plastic Pollution Through Exploration, Education, and Action

North Pacific Gyre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have to disagree about recycling. Everyone I know is pretty dedicated to recycling to the extent that most families have two separate bins inside their home to make sure people do not throw recyclables into the trash bin.

Also where I’m from you will almost always see at least one desi person in line whenever you pass a recycling center (even if they have other reasons for recycling…they still are!)
