THE PLASTIC DAY

Yesterday it was the plastic day at alamedilla park. All people in Salamanca were there to learn about plastic. There were activities about recycling plastic. Classes to learnt about how is the plastic made. The people like a lot this idea and do events in facebook to repeat this experience. Yesterday was to same important person in Spain like the king or the president of the government. In my opinion I like this event because I learnt a lot of plastic and I learnt how to recycle this kind of waste. I propose to do a day of the glass next week.

RECYCLING IN HONG KONG

The need to reduce, reuse and recycle waste is important to Hong Kong, with his large population. I´m going to tell you why recycle is so important, what do the goverment do and how you can recycle there.
WHY?

Because Hong Kong has to deal with an unsustanaible amount of waste in such a small geographical area, everyone needs to aware of what we can do to improve de situation. Our lanfills will be full, one by one, in the mid to late 2010. So we all needs to take responsability and act now.
WHAT? AND HOW?
The goverment take the lead. It is good to involve the whole comunity in reducing waste.
The tools and mesures include:
1.-Discard less, pay less - introducing waste charging to change people´s consumption.
2.-Source separation-improving the recycling from 40% in 2004 to 50% in 2014.
3.-Supporting the recycling industry-the building of the ecopark and the introduction of a project of ecoresponsability.
