Fast forward decades later and categorising rubbish is basically apart of Japanese household culture. Where if you put the wrong poo poo in the wrong bin your Japanese mom will beat the poo poo out of you and say Ora Ora~ afterwards. When I was living in Sweden my student dorms recycling bins went like this: - Paper - Cardboard - Organic - Metal (like tins) - Clear glass - Dark glass - Plastics - Other poo poo that doesnt meet that criteria There was 8 bins for each corridor (14 per building, and about 20 buildings), and the poo poo worked. People sorted their rubbish accordingly. Aside from the occasional angry glare the locals would give their exchange student counterparts when they seldomly didnt put rubbish in the correct bin, there was no need to police it. Every single can of soft drink or beer and soft-drink bottles (500ml, 1lt, 2lt) was recycled at supermarkets where we got between 10 and 25 cents (1-2kr). From these proceeds we usually just spend it on more alcohol. Or cleaning material for our common areas, which ever was more urgent.

We sort ours at home pretty seriously, to the point that our recycling bing was usually overflowing by mid-cycle (fortnightly cycle) and our red bin never had more than 2-3 shopping bags worth of rubbish in it each week.We also compost any organic waste that we can so that cuts down heaps too. Im kind of surprised that so few councils collect garden waste bins (my parents in the Shire have them, nowhere else I have lived has green waste bins?). We also collect soft plastics and drop them off at Coles once a month. I think the amount of recycling that we collect at our home however is more an indication of how much packaging things include these days, rather than a sign of how little 'waste' garbage we produce. so much poo poo has unnecessary packaging. what I wonder, is where all these products that have high-recycled material content get their recycled material from, if we dont process it here? surely the impact on the environment from shipping in packaging made from 100% recycled materials from china is worse than producing new ones here.

We had the green waste bins when I lived in Port Macquarie but I've never seen them anywhere else. They seemed like a very good idea and cut down massively on the amount of rubbish that went into our red bin.

Domain releases an article on the Melbourne apartment market telling people that:quote:The golden rule when buying and selling residential property is that the more heavily supplied the market segment, the more likely it is that prices will fall. While it's somewhat amazing that Domain is even releasing an article containing those quotes (despite the fact they follow them up with poo poo like: "Such buyer-friendly conditions are tossing up opportunities for astute first-home buyers"), here's what's happening in Melbourne at the same time:  Note: This is only showing inner city Melb and only developments of over 50 dwellings. The source is somewhat unknown in terms of reliability but it's the best I could find without in-depth research. Source: http://www.jll.com.au/australia/en-au/Research/Melbourne%20Apartment%20Market%20Commentary%20April%202017.pdf Now obviously, all the apartments in that graph wont be built if the market tanks, but even so when this poo poo crashes it's going to be absolutely massive.

Murphy also has a problem being mean about younger politicians, that comes up a lot.

Problem with this system is that it relies on people being Japanese and giving a poo poo. We pat ourselves on the back for being good recyclers here but I seriously doubt most Australians could be hosed thinking about it this much. e: also not one of those bins says "anime" so I refuse to believe it's real.

Hilarious how we outsourced all the waste collectors to contractors and they all simultaneously decided to send it all to Ipswich then Ipswich is like go ahead. Look, even the yellow bins are for you! I wonder if these companies just bribe Ipswich Council to infinity and in 30 years time the place will explode like a volcano made of glass, plastic and cans.

It irks me that I can’t put Nespresso pods in the yellow wheelie bin and I cannot be hosed dropping them off at a special recycling point. There needs to be more pressure on companies producing the packaging and not just on the consumer. I recycle as much as possible but hosed if I’m going out of my way or buying a return satchel. coffee snobs come at me

The consumer focus of recycling is entirely the product of lobbying by the manufacturers who create the waste. They got in first in the 50s or something. Kinda like how they knew the obesity crisis was coming since the 80s or 90s but they hosed us all for a cheap buck

Make a small grid in your garden. Dump your daily coffee grounds into a single square. Repeat this process until the whole grid is full. At this point the first square will have decomposed and you can start over.

We don't need the NBN because 5g. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/fed...418-p4za8x.html Also roads should be congested, and stadiums shouldn't be funded except maybe they should be, a bit. Power prices are fine though.
