In Japan, garbage is colour coded: Green is for recyclable trash, blue is for non-burnable and red is for burnable. Design agency MAQ thought the streets would be prettier if they turned the garbage bags into disposable art, in three patters- trees, fish and flowers. Of course it is better not to have bags at all; we posted previously that Japanese separated their garbage into ten categories. ::Pink Tentacle
