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 carry out a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables．

　　“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．

　　Over time，Sweden has performed a related 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．

　　“That’s a key reason that we have this district network，so we can make use of the heating from the waste plants．In the southern part of Europe they don’t make use of the heating from the waste，it just goes out the chimney．Here we use it as a substitute for fossil fuel，”Ms Gripwall says．

　　32．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?

　　A．The residents are too lazy to send their rubbish to the landfill．

　　B．Most of the household rubbish is sent to recycling plants in Sweden．
