    So, absolutely.

    But also I’ve been to massive concerts in the USA and Canada, and 100% of the time people litter more at the USA based events.

    There’s always litter though one way or another.

      I’m not super-familiar with Canadian attitudes and social mores, but in the time I’ve spent there I get the impression that Canadians tend to feel more socially responsible as a whole. They also tend to expect those around them also conform to that social responsibility. Of course there are going to be those that don’t conform for whatever reason ans are just assholes the same as anyplace in the world. There’s never a shortage of them.

      In the US there’s more of a fuck you attitude based partially on the you can’t tell me what to do anti-authority attitude that perversely seems to filter all the way down to basic human decency issues like simply throwing away your trash, returning shopping carts, or even having blinding LED lights festooning your pickup truck. Additionally there’s the US attitude of people being “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” where picking up trash or being responsible about its disposal is beneath the litterer, and that job is left to those beneath them.

      It was a gathering of trash people to celebrate a trash human. They’re not going to care about it being clean.
