Taking out the trash
So today Monika and I went to the garbage place. One of the things I like and noticed about Vienna is that they are serious about their garbage. Like many things in Vienna its not so much that the people are serious about it but it is just accepted and expected. To quote a good friend of mine " That's just the way it is. " That sums up the way Vienna handles their garbage situation. Monika told me a story that at some point the city had to tell its people that they were doing too good a job of separating their garbage. The garbage wasn't burning. So now I think certain plastics aren't recycled anymore so that the garbage can burn. Any how, I am impressed in the cleaness of Vienna and the way that things are recycled. Today we went to this garbage place and there was a place for wood garbage, electronic garbage, metal garbarge, cardboard garbage, chemical garbage, and its all supervised by these garbage guys. The most impressive part of all of this isn't that this place exist but that the people follow the rules and go there to bring their different kinds of garbage. I guess they have no choice really because you just don't throw away things. There is a place for everything. I like that.
