My heart..too much.cuteness
Corrections:What period are you thinking of?! I've never heard of any society that base — and the medieval Europe this setting was based on really wasn't. (The medievalist in me strongly objects to this absurd notion. Well, education regarding the Middle Ages is decidedly less than brilliant, to put it mildly, but still, commonplace defecating the street?!) Back then people would do their business in something called the privy; while it wasn't up to today's standards by any means, they were all but ubiquitous (since few people had servants and since those who had them usually didn't have the numbers seen in subsequent centuries, the chamber pot had yet to gain the popularity it did in from the Renaissance until the development (or rediscovery, I'm not sure which) of indoor plumbing). Thing is, being in a state of undress in public was usually taboo (depending on the location and type obviously), so privies of various kinds were kind of necessary, even if that meant taking a shit in a thicket (this is also how most of the uncivilized groups took care of things). Moreover, while the dumping laws weren't that strict (it depended on when and where; dumping things in the street wasn't exactly unheard of), they typically had some similar laws, usually to prevent problems from things potentially attracted by the waste (mostly extra rodents, but also some wild beasts and bandits) as well as preventing streets from becoming impassible (like I said, when and where). Additionally, some things which we consider waste, they didn't (e.g. scraps of wood were often used for kindling, even small clothing scraps would become cleaning rags, urine was sometimes used in tanning and the processing of felt, etc.). That said, most of this was pragmatic and basically none of it had to do with the environment (at least one English queen consort refused to live in London due to smog… during the 12th century). Please excuse the rant — the absurdity incited it.
yeah but dont forget glass is as common as can be if even a zero star can get there hands on it by the time glass was that easy to make we were consuming like crazy i assume this is a world where mass production is done through magic and is easy to do (skills i assume) so making stuff growing stuff all that is easier but like us waste is a problem and unlike us they dont got trucks to haul it far away i might be wrong though.It's weird this world care more about pollution in this age. Like Similar time wise u can poop on the street and noone would bat an eye.
