Like kindergarten kids who do color sorting, stacking and matching activities, i always sort, group and match everyday garbage with their colored destination bins. The yellow, blue, black and brown dustbins that stand outside every home is a testimony to the sorting that is stipulated. This bins are not only placed outside the home but also inside the home too. Blue for paper waste, yellow for non-paper products, black for residual waste and brown for food waste or put everything else in the black bin which you know, is like nothing. It doesn't stop with these four color waste bins, it goes much further. I also got to put my food scraps, plants bits, and other bio wastes in the compost bin this also nicely placed in every homes and working organisations.
This list doesn't end it goes again like this- the Plastic bottles with recycle symbol go back to the supermarket, glass bottles and containers are again color sorted in a bin that are placed in the neighborhood. While we are returning these plastic bottles, glass bottles and yogurt jars the supermarket will return back our money. The old shoes and clothes tackle separately. The truck that collects all these wastes from every home and every work places.
This is a new thing for me..., i also used to separate wastes in my home in India but that is not exactly like German System. While comparing to Indian family, All German family are strictly following this proper waste management system here. .!! In India also we have the same systems which is implemented by the Indian Government but unfortunately most of the Indian citizen not following that. Everything was just thrown away and it seems like most people didn't know where their garbage was gone to and how .., unfortunately, it is not only a country's problem but also a Global Problem.
I also had many tense moments here in Germany while sorting it because we Indians not used to it. Sometimes by mistake i mixed the wastes in home. All the time my host mother and host father will patiently tries to correct me. Thanks to them to teach me a perfect system of waste management.
It all sounds pretty good and easy right?
I feel that if we all followed these kind of Waste Management in India definitely together we can make a great difference in India- A Clean India!!! I think that we Indians also can organize our kitchen with a recycle center to accommodate every waste.

Its too clean to be true
Here in Germany every people try to do a lot of environmental friendly things to keep their country so clean. Germany unusually clean to most Indians. Everyone takes responsibility of public space cleanness. When i traveled around Germany, i was just amazed by the immaculate railway stations, spotless trains and clean toilets,litter free roads and well kept public spaces. Everywhere i can see a well maintained dust bins often i have a doubt is that dust bin because the dust bins itself so beautiful to see. All rivers and lakes are also clean here. i never seen the people who are throwing wastes to the water sources.
Unlike India people pay and use washrooms than pee in the public. All this has to be change in India. I am sure that i will definitely carry this system to my India. However if we are used to do this system , its pretty easy please just try to do its not only for saving you but also for saving our EARTH.....!!!
