   @tatsumoto Hmm, doesn't see very free or sensible to be forced to use new plastic bags if you want to dispose of waste (considering that many products come in plastic bags that can at least be re-used as a garbage bag).
   
   Of course there's even a single-use plastic bag for recyclable bottles! (when they can just go into a recycling bin with no bag required).

     The Japanese are screaming from the high prices. In Itako, Ibaraki, when disposing of trash, residents must use paid bags specified by the local government. The city has increased the prices of garbage bags starting in April. As a result, the cost has nearly tripled. #japan #economy
