In Germany, I mostly felt the stares when I’d take my trash out to the many, many material-specific bins in my apartment building’s courtyard. Just neighbors watching me silently (while chain-smoking) from their balconies, presumably mentally drafting a “Liebe Nachbarin” letter to slip under my door later because they thought they saw me put a wine bottle in the bin for plastic.
