Back in the UK prior to my departure I tried to recycle as much as possible. Paper, Cans, Glass and Plastic all found their way to the local bank. Unfortunately there is no such system in place here. Let alone recycling there is a distinct lack of care for the environment. I regularly witness paper simply discarded in the street. Teachers on our training at the weekend throw their biscuit wrappers onto their school playground. The grounds surrounding houses are littered with bags of rubbish. Paper is sometimes burnt, plastic bottles are often reused by people, particularly by shoe cleaners and for transporting oil and kerosene. However cans, glass, plastic bags and anything not wanted is always thrown. Thankfully, a new teacher to the college has started a petition to collect money to tidy up the place.
