Recycling and rubbish
By Nicolás Ordax

I'm going to talk a little bit about recycling in Barcelona.
Barcelona is a very big city with a lot of people. Such a big city generates a lot of rubish and dust which must go somewhere.

In Barcelona there are a lot of dustbins and containers, but it seems they aren't enough. If you make a little trip through the city, you'll find so much rubbish you'll really think that there aren't enough containers. That isn't true because the containers and bins aren't usually full. The great problem is the people of Barcelona don't care about if the streets are dirty or not. You always find someone throwing his chewing gum away, even if he is a half meter from a bin.

But not all the people are like this. Day after day, people become more and more conscious about the environment, recycling is more important every day. Recently, the recycling containers for organic waste have been installed. There are also recicling containers for paper, plastic and glass.
If we continue like this and everyone recycles all their rubbish, I think we'll finally arrive at what everybody wants: a sustainable environment.
