Go green!

Recycling is AMAZING here! Everyone recycles, and everything is recycled.  There are huge bins all over campus for the different colored glass bottles (*the picture above), but thats just the beginning.

When you go to the Warehouse (it's the same as our Walmart), they charge you 10 cents for every plastic bag you use.  So, many people carry their groceries out without a bag.  It really decreases the amount of plastic bags that are used!

Also, whenever you go to a takeout place, the food is served in a PLASTIC container.  At home, we get the styrofoam trays or the paper plates, but here they use plastic.  They look like Ziploc tupperware containers, and they are meant to be reused.  The sauces come in plastic containers as well.  They even charge for extra plastic forks or knives. 


Talk about reduce, reuse, recycle huh?
