Recycle

Though we have strict rule to separately dump our wastes in Tokyo (paper, combustible one, plastic, recyclable plastic, aluminum can, steel can, glass bottle, plastic bottle, battery, and so on), here I’ve finally gotten used to damp them without separating. I’m afraid if I can live in Tokyo again. In Hawaii, government tried to start systematic recycling system before though, it seems to come to deadlock. One of problem would be the lower consciousness of the importance of recycling for ordinary people. On the other hand, Cheryl explained me that in small island with less population, the rate of operation at a recycling plant would be low, and recycled products would not be consumed completely within the small island, thus it takes much cost for establishing recycling system. Because I’ve heard that Hawaii gov. has huge surplus in their budget, I think that such a cost should be spent as the education to keep the earth and our nature healthy. The bottom line is that economics in Hawaii is based on the tourism, especially beautiful nature.
In USA, on the other hand, there are many people, who consider well about nature. I can often see the track for collecting can and bottles for the recycling at the park and parking. Good job!
