Japanese fact sheet No. 1

Sorry for not writing for some time, all of the exchange students here are burried under piles of work - most of the lecturers prefer to see a group presentation instead of correcting lots and lots of final exams.

So, anyways, there is a thing I wanted to tell about for some time. Do you know that Japan recycles literally everything? Well, every country recycles at least a bit, but here, when moving in, we got a whole pamphlet with information what can be thrown out together. It's ok, as far as you consider that Japan is one of the most technically developed countries, and most probably, pollutes a lot; therefore they have to compensate this somewhere. But you would never expect this:




As you can see, this is a fast food restaurant. Let me give you a hint - this is one of the biggest fast food chains in the world. McDonald's. Even here you have to recycle. As well as in Strabucks, Burger King, and in any other Japanese and non-Japanese fast food chain. Makes me think that Danes, which consider themselves very "green", are not trying good enough :D
