On Saturday I went into work to get some stuff done. It was nice and quite and I was super productive. My boss, Mrs. Lee, bought myself and my supervisor, Michelle, lunch. We ordered Chinese delivery and I was really surprised when it came on plastic reusable dishes. Seoul is a super duper environmentally conscious mega city. Not only is recycling mandatory, composting is too! There are large bins on every street and you will be fined if caught not recycling or composting. So I asked Michelle how it all worked out with the plates and she said that someone comes back an hour or so after they bring the food and collect them. I was even more surprised when we didn’t even have to wash them and just set them out in the hall to be picked up. Much different system for sure!
I am excited that the theme for Character Education this month is Responsibility because I’m going to teach my kids all about recycling.
In other exciting new I went to my second Baha’i Feast on Saturday. It was wonderful on so many different levels, but on particularly reason was that their was PUMPKIN PIE. Oh my goodness!
Wow, I’m loving the idea of mandatory recycling AND composting!
We have a Korean girl in my ENVS 301 class, and she talked about that stuff. A Japanese dude is in the class too, and he was like, OMG yeah in Japan too! And the Americans hung their heads.
Hooray for the Baha’i feast and for recycling!
The folks at the cluster have been showing me the archives recently. It’s so cool to learn about the community’s exhaustive history.
Hi Bahia, This is Don. I am follwing you along with Jeanette. What wonderful experiences. Is any English spoken at the Feasts there? Love, Don (Grampa)
