This is What Recycling Looks Like

This is one truck, on one street, in one city. I just can't fathom how much plastic we consume.

I was surprised to see this truck on the street today because recycling doesn't seem like a hugely popular thing in Chile. In my building, we have to bring our recycling to containers in a park nearby. My roommate wants the apartment to be green, though. For example, when I came to look at the place, he offered me a glass of water. I didn't finish it all and was going to pour it down the sink. He stopped me and said he'd water the plants with it. And I knew we'd get along.
