Hmm, I though in California you also get money back for plastikbottles and cans...at least we was collecting them and got money for it. In California..CANS AND Plasticbottles...you pay a fee when you buy and you get the money back, when you bring it back to the special places usually infront of a grocerystore..
I'm livin in a very multi cultural aparment building and somehow I just don't get why so many of the families put their paper waste into a plastic bag and throw this into the bin. completely senseless. so simply living in germany doens't make you a recycling champion :D
germany is cleaner than america... we recycle everything even food any food we dont eat we put in a type of big box and let the worms insects eat it so suck on that america fact america is the stupidest and fattest country in the world haha
Recycling in the US is getting bigger every time.I don't think we're going to end up sorting our trash like you do in Germany but we have recycling bins for paper and batteries in public places and recycling gets promoted in schools a lot.
America is one of the countries that recycle the most. Check it up on this site. We are number 7 thought Germans are number 3. We still made it to this list out of hundreds of other countries. go to aneki.com then click on natural world then click on countries with the highest recycling rates. And American is number 7.
Of course we recycle here in the US, a few blocks away from our house there is a huge recycling center where you can bring anything from glass bottles to broken up concrete to recycle.
Germany is not perfect either and i think both countries could learn much from each other... for example could German cooks learn how to make american spareribs, i love them <3 .... but you really won't get good ribs with barbecue sauce here in Germany!!!!!!!
Recycling shouldn't be something you get paid for really, i wish aliens would like come here and be like keep your planet alive and clean or we will wipe out your whole species...BITCHES! I have a good idea, Just before you buy something try to find something that doesn't use plastic. The plastic age has made us all into pigs. USA USA USA USA!!!
In this was i am very pride to be a Swiss, because we are champion in recycling. we recycle ca 55% of the waste, Germans only ca 24% of the waste and the whole USA only 10%. My mother is Italian so we went to her friends in south Italy to do holidays. I was shocked when I saw that they put the glass, plastic, pet and everything in the garbage can! That looked out so weird!
i think it depends on each state. i live in california and we enforce recycling very well. but i have been to Germany and, although i think california does a really good job, i think Germans have it down to a science :)
I gave up recycling. My city management let the "garbage" men have pick-up day off, so it wasn't collected for a week. Then they left me a note saying my recycling boxes were too full. That's when I decided recycling wasn't worth the hassle (not for me personally at least) even though it's "mandatory". And besides, you waste a lot of water rinsing everything anyway.
Right now lots of small German beverage companies who still fill their water and other soft drinks into multi-trip glass bottles which come in crates are forced to close down because the discounters with their cheap one-time use plastic bottles put them out of business. While it's better to recycle than to trash, it's even better to re-use. It's a shame that so few people understand that.
Biomüll kommt in die Grüne, Papier in die Blaue Tonne, Plastik kommt in den gelben Sack und der Rest... ich glaube, es sind meistens graue/schwarze Tonnen^^
We have sorting facilities in my area of PA. One brown bin for non-recyclable, blue for everything recyclable which is sorted at a facility so we don't have to and green for compost waste like plants and grass. It really depends on your townships policy here.
Recycling here is mandatory as far as garbage men coming to take it, we don't have a can deposit, in Washington state, but there is one in Oregon, and you have to pay it when you buy soda, and get it back when you turn in your cans.
I think recycling is so annoying! you can take anything apart...i mean sometimes i dont know if i should put something in the paper or plastic can.... so I really enjoyed just throwing everything together when i was in the US . Another thing is the deposit I hate that you have to always take the cans and bottles back especially cans I love squeezing them xD
What about the fact that recycling anything but cans is actually worse for the environment. You guys should do some research comparing the energy used to recycle vs the energy used to just fabricate things. You are unknowingly playing into a hoax. Not trying to make you mad, just want you to get informed. Please go and research before posting.
every state I've lived in recycles and we have color coded containers - for glass, plastic, paper- that are distributed and picked up by the city. It sounds like the Germans get into it a little more though.
@xPeegexaahh@xPeegexaahh Well Jim is from Mississippi, and in the Deep South it is extremely rare to see anything to do with recycling. I live in southern Louisiana, and actually in my city you can't recycle. Like, there are no recycling programs. I have never met a person or seen a business recycle in Louisiana.
@marcosity911 i live in Minnesota and up in the midwest recycling is enforced and we recycle everywhere. Up here it is almost frowned upon to throw away a plastic bottle or aluminum can.
we have gigantic bins at school for like everything one for paper, glass, and just garbage
yeah everything has a deposit here too cans are like 5 cents and glass is 15 plasic 15 or 10 i mean it says litterally on the bottle or can never new the states didnt have that and i go there so much too haha
