Those days I’ve been a perfect cleaning gentleman, as my wife was somewhere else. Thus, I could have the ABSOLUTE control on our flat, as I had to do everything by myself. I could picture out which materials goes to the waste incinerator close to the city (and possibly back into our lungs/water). Here in Switzerland we can recycle practically everything:
- PET plastic bottles
- Metal and aluminum cans
- Glass bottles and jars
- Paper and carton
.. even the kitchen waste is used to prepare compost in the garden.
What I could NOT recycle in addition to the plastic films around meat and sausages or the thin plastic bags for vegetables/fruits was: the oddly stupid tetra pack. Tetra pack is made out of plastic, aluminum and carton. These three layers are really good pressed together: don’t ask me please to separate them! From now on I will buy juices and milk only in glass or PET.
P.S. I know in some countries like U.K. tetra pack can be recycled … but in Switzerland?

- Police arrived after 2 hours (!) we had an accident: we had to stay 2 hours on the lane.
- I got a fee because I parked where was forbidden
- I got a fee because I entered a traffic restricted zone (I didn’t see the signal)
- One police jeep bumped in the rear of my car and broke the rear lights Read the rest of this entry »

… so that even Italians and Russians like us can hope for a better future for ever and ever in Switzerland. I think this should push you to be against SVP initiative
