Sweden is aiming for a zero-waste society. This takes the country' s recycling revolution one stepfurther--from putting rubbish in landfills (废物填埋场), to recycling to reusing.?
It is early morning. Before 31-year-old Daniel Silberstein goes to his office, he has separated outhis empty cartons (纸箱) into the containers in the shared basement. It is just some of the two tons ofrubbish he and his fellow Swedes recycle per person each year.?
"The thing about recycling is that it' s quite automatic. It' s basically a thing you naturally do,"Silberstein says.?
"A big part of it is thinking about what kind of environment our daughter is going to have in thefuture. I am a kid of the 1990s and not recycling is kind of abnormal for us, but for my daughter' sgeneration it will hopefully go even further. She already thinks it' s fun to push the cartons into therecycling station when I take her there."?
The main problem today is that many used products are hard to deal with. ?A new movement isgaining ground that seeks to ensure everything can be reused somehow. In 2017 the Swedish governmentreformed the tax system so that people could get cheaper repairs on used goods, and a Swedish clothingcompany operates a recycling project where customers get a discount upon handing in old clothes.Meanwhile, scientists are working on finding new clothing materials that are less damaging to theenvironment.?
For Daniel Silberstein and his daughter Charlie, the future begins at home. "Friends shouldn't ?????????????????????????????????" ????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Inthrow rubbish on the ground, ?Charlie says, and her dad agrees: ????the future we' 11 look at the oldstyle of recycling the way we look at fossil (化石) fuels and landfill sites today. It will all seem crazy. "?
