Intermediate German #28: Recycling in Germany

The video discusses recycling practices in a classroom and at home, highlighting the differences between the USA and Germany. In the USA, recyclables are sorted after collection, while in Germany, citizens sort waste into specific bins. The German system includes bins for paper, glass, compost, plastics, and residual waste, with a focus on reducing toxic waste. Additionally, Germany has a bottle deposit system that encourages recycling by offering monetary returns for returned bottles.
