This August I took a trip to Japan, Inner Mongolia, and Mongolia. I noticed that Inner Mongolia, which is located in China, had a lot more litter than Japan and Mongolia. I also noticed that compared to the well organized collection system of Japan, lots of areas in Inner Mongolia and Mongolia did not have proper trashcans and collection systems. There were very few recycling bins overall and almost none in Mongolia. However, Mongolia was mostly polluted in tourist areas and in the city while the rural land was more natural and untouched. Overall, the trip was extremely exciting and we visited lots of family and friends in Inner Mongolia. We also got to travel to the countryside of Mongolia and stay in a yurt which I had never done before. While in Mongolia, visiting a famous rock structure, we picked up some trash so here is a picture below!
