What You Don’t Know Can Hurt All of Us!
Recycling around the world varies drastically by country. Sadly, here in the United States it does not measure up to the world’s top recycling nations. To encourage recycling, many states in the US have put 5-10 cent deposits on bottles or drink containers, and there are cities in the United States that recycle by requirement. However the country still has a very, very long way to go; only 32.5% to 34% of the total waste in the United States is recycled! This is a very low number considering our large population. Perhaps we could learn from the following countries who take recycling very seriously — so seriously that one has actually run out of garbage! https://www.babble.com/travel/recycling-around-the-world-7-practices-we-should-adopt-from-other-countries/
