And a child shall lead them

Hello from Sweden where I am staying with my cousin and soaking up the culture. We recently stopped at a recycling center the size of a football field. There were a dozen or more bins the size of large construction dumpsters for different materials. In addition to the things we recycle, they have bins for things like hard plastic, wall board, and yard waste. There are containers for clear and colored glass and you can leave used appliances, TV’s and computers. This is unlike my town where we put everything in a small bin and a truck picks it up once a week. In order to get people to adapt to this system, the government indoctrinates school children. They count on children to badger parents to do “what is right for the environment,” and it seems to be working. In a way, we are doing this also in the US, but the Swedes are more direct about it. Keep in mind that there are only 9 million people in Sweden.
