Recycling

Actually, that reminds me:

I started taking a new route walking home from work.
a) this gives me a chance for a change of scenery
b) this decreases the likelyhood of me getting run over by a transport truck, cement truck, Dacia or van

Most of the garbage bins here are overflowing in garbage. Romania is making an effort to promote recycling but I don't think it's caught on yet. Plastic bottles are piled up around garbage bins, yet I doubt anyone will take them away. Most public garbage cans advertise the recycling logo but I seriously doubt anyone cares.

I was shocked to see people digging through the garbage. One man was chosing his treasures carefully and placing them delicately in his bag. I was shocked to see one very well-dressed woman scavenging as well. She was wearing a nice dress and expensive jewelery. Delphine tells me that this is quite common and it's the only way people can make ends meet.
