What is up with the pollution in Central and South America?

I’ve been to Mexico several times, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. One thing that all these places have in common is that every square foot of outside ground has a piece of garbage on it: empty plastic water containers, glass bottles, empty beer and soda cans, food wrappers, paper, etc. It’s disgusting.

Each of these places is beautiful in its own way, so I can’t understand it. I don’t mean to stereotype, but why all the pollution?

What is the difference in littering, between fast food wrappers and cigarette butts?

If you are caught throwing fast food wrappers out the window, its a littering fine, and if you throw your cigarette butt out the window, they won’t do anything about it.
