recycling

Europe is ridiculously environmentally friendly. Everything electrical is censored or on timers, and there are recycling bins for everything just about everywhere.

With one exception. No one recycles aluminum cans in Europe. It is a practice that does not exist.

Which is funny considering in the USA, aluminum cans are the most recycled thing. The fact that you can take your cans and get money for them probably doesn't hurt.

But in Europe? Nope.

My heart hurts a little bit every time I throw away an aluminum can here.
