LATVIA- Daugavpils

Each city has different containers, but the colors are the same. Green- household waste (scraps); and blue- wrappings (plastic, glass, carton,etc)

Recycling- Laura

Just like in other countries we Latvia also have green, blue and yellow trash bins. These three are in resort, at Jūrmalas beach, and they differ from those which are in towns, but functions are the same - yellow for plastic, green for glass and blue - paper and cardboard. We are caring about our adorable

places in Latvia.

Recycling

Recycling batteries- Laura Some

My name is Laura. I am from Latvia.

In Latvia we collect used batteries to recycle them. These bins are in shops and schools so if a person wants to be nature friendly, he/ she can use this opportunity to recycle the batteries

Sorting

We all (me and my students) agree that it is necessary to sort trash and to recycle it. In the city or urban areas it is easier than in the rural areas. In the cities there are different containers for sorting the stuff, but in villages there is only one container where all the trash is placed.

My name is Antonis. I am 12 years old and i stay in Drama. In my opinion we must recycle to the rubbish. We must have bins for bottles, plastics and always throw rubbish in to the bins. Also it will encourage people to use products which don't  pollute or harm the environment.

Photo of Trash - Bianca - Romania

My name is Bianca Romanescu, I am 12 years old and I live in Romania in a small city called Mihaesti.

Last weekend I went to the park with my friends and I took these photos for the
e-twinning project about recycling.

It is a newspaper thrown on the grass from the green place, although the special trash containers were very close to the park and the benches.
It is not a good thing to throw anything in the park, we should all be civilised and take care of the “green places” from our town.

Rubbish bins.
In the city in all public places are new and clean rubbish bins. But in the suburbs I found such old, rusty and broken bins. It seems to me nobody empies them.

Photo of Trash- Anna Sintija- Latvia

In the forest.

My name is Anna Sintija. I am from Latvia. I study in Shopy secondary school. I like nature and I love walking, taking pictures and breathing fresh air in the forest. This time I went to the forest to find trash. This is what I found- a jacket, a shoe and a very typical item in the forest- plastic bottle. Somebody was in a hurry and left the jacket on the branch of the tree and a shoe in the mud. I am not sure if that shoe is made of leather or kind of synthetic material. Plastic bottles are typical and are found everywhere.
