My own German recycles. And how. With German gründlichkeit. Seriously, in other worths.
Everything seems to have its own place. Even dirt. You have no idea in how many different categories dirt can be categorised. And about twice a day he runs to the compost in the garden. To structure dirt.
Off course I am impressed. I recycled too. But in a small flat in the heart of a large town. No compost. No garden. And only two categories for dirt.
Three maybe - when it does not take the trash truck for that additional categorie to long to pass. Or the flat becomes too small. With all the categories.
My own German says it has to do with education. Germans recycle since 20 years. With German gründlichkeit. Dirt in many different categories.
What a pity. Will it really take the rest of the world twenty years of education to structure their dirt?

Then our chemistry-teacher told us to re-use and recycle aluminium foil because of this & that. I understood and I did. A few years ago I saw a piece of foil and thought by myself: "wow, what a nice piece of foil!". Since then I'm collecting aluminium foil (not for re-using or recycling). Currently I'm thinking about an exhibition called "Be a treasure - Alufolie, Schreibmaschinen, Plastictüten und die Größte Pornosammlung der Welt – ausgewählte Stücke aus der Collection Thomas Scherl" - something that deals with art collectors, categories and so on ...
Thanks for your inspiration!
