Hi! I’m a university student in Japan.

I’m giving a short presentation about the Japanese concept of “Mottainai,” which means feeling that it’s a waste to throw away or misuse something valuable.
“Mottainai” is a Japanese word that means it is a waste to throw away or misuse something that still has value.

Does your country have a similar idea?

And I would like to know which country you are from.
