Germany

[Strike For The South]

Just how clean is this country?

Everytime a buddy comes back from Europe, They rave about France, Spain, Italy, and London (sorry brits, it is what it is)

But when the subject of Germany comes up all you ever get is

"Well it was a bit on the clean side"

Considering how much poll smoking these "German"-Americans do you'd figure they would have glowing reveiws about the place

And for the record, America is a dirty country filled with strip malls. Never visit me

Not sure what kind of information you are exactly looking for.

But to give you an idea - for our house we have three different garbage cans + one garbage bag for*
- paper
- organics
- packaging material (e.g. plastic, cans)
- the small remainder that does not fit the above categories
In addition we separately collect e.g.
- batteries
- cork (!)
- electronics

In all likelihood our garbage is better organized and cleaner than the content of your fridge

'nuff said.

*EDIT to add: We also received a 2-page overview to help us decide what garbage items fall into which category

You know I have to that too. And I suspect STrike might too.

If I want to throw batteries away on ground water that's my choice

Just come to October fest and see, ok.
It is the end of September by the way.
Leave at night and come back early in the morning and wonder what they did with the 30 tons of trash...
and yes they sorted it.

If the pr0n is any indication, Germany is plenty dirty.

I consider that a mark in the pro column.

Yes, if it your choice to be fined a £60 littering charge.

Yeah we know its crap, why do you think all our humor is self depricating?

[Fragony]

Germany is very clean, they probably expected it to be. If that's all they remember they propably never visited the place, Berlin in particular. Berlin nightlife> everything else. Are they sure they didn't get lost

Germany is very clean, but it's not as clean as Singapore.

You don't get caned for littering some chewing gum, no. :eek:

Litterers deserve to be drawn and quartered.
