Raw LLM Responses

Really? Kiiinda making blanket statements man. There are massive numbers of middle and upper class people that litter relentlessly. The amount of times I've seen some asshole throw their fast food bag or cigarette butt out of their car window, or a financial suit just leave their coffee outside at lunch, often when there's a garbage receptacle within walking distance... Litter really doesn't have too much to do with education, but more so a combination of restricted space (Cairo, India, etc.), public infrastructure, and / or with cultural and social norms. More generally, in developed nations, willful ignorance. For example, Japan and Canada both have literacy rates at or above 99%... Japan recycles close to 80% of trash, while Canada is still under 30%. Japan literally does not have garbage bins or receptacles in most regions. This has nearly eliminated litter and people just carry their garbage until they find somewhere suitable. The US is a little different, since 14% of the population is functionally illiterate.. they genuinely can't even read. However, even in the most educated regions you find massive amounts of litter and abysmal trash and recycling rates. Back to cigarette butts: close to 2 billion pounds per year. Trillions of improperly disposed of, carcinogen-containing cancer sticks certainly hasn't helped any cause.
