From Austria:

The amount of plastic waste you produce.

Every shopping trip you get (single use) plastic bags, every food item is packaged individually. Even your plates are often times made from plastic, as is the cutlery (sometimes).

All those plastic cups in every restaurant - it's disgusting.

It's insanity.

Also: general waste is labeled "landfill" in some places.
