A little effort goes a long way


For someone (moi) who has taken out garbage only 3+ times before moving here (really embarrassed to admit), separating the garbage into respective recycle bins is a big deal to me! I feel that I've done my small part in preserving the environment :)
From what I observed, people here have adapted well to this way of garbage treatment, considering that Hungary implemented this system only in late 2003. Better late than never, right?! ;)

Lovely colour selection.
We have them on every street corner.

Nuno said...

We have another recycle bin to plastics and metals but glass goes all to the same box, separation its a routine like any other but essential since on these day's we produce a lot of garbage:(

Sam said...

That's such an important thing to do!

Nicola said...

Interesting to see how these containers look like in Hungary.

Well done Kris, we have them here as Bob has said. Besides the color you can guess by the mouth of the containers, flat for paper, or round for bottles, etc.

love what you did here..!!photofiltre? :)
what about the biodegradable stuffs? it's wonderful that your community is doing this..here, there are a few, but not really that well taken..i guess because it isn't really strictly implemented.. :(
people are slowly acclimatizing to the idea, though..

Kris said...

maiylah : yup, i used photofiltre :) i think it's the important part is the enforcement.

Louz : hahaha..you have described well! yes, we do have the same kind. That is a larger bin, but that is for wet/food stuff..so very slimy :o

carlos : good eye! that's the way to determine which goes where :)

nuno : nowadays every products come with so much of packaging , each day we clear at least two bins full :s

carmen : i like yours much much better :)

Thank you all for stopping by :)
