Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to implement a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables.
为什么要把垃圾送到瑞典?因为瑞典人有保护环境的文化传统,所以他们的系统很先进。瑞典是1991年第一批开始对化石燃料征收重税的国家之一。如今该国近一半的电力供应来自可再生能源。
“Swedish people are quite keen on being out in nature and they are aware of what we need do on nature and environmental issues. We worked on communications for a long time to make people aware not to throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anna-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association.
瑞典垃圾管理回收协会Avfall Sverige的交流主任安娜•凯琳•格里普沃表示,“瑞典人很喜欢拥抱大自然,也知道采取哪些措施来应对环境问题。长期以来,我们都努力和人们进行沟通,好让他们不在户外乱扔垃圾,这样有利于我们对垃圾的回收和再利用。”
Over time, Sweden has implemented a cohesive national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter.
