so this is more an observation than anything, but while being on vacation, most places i’ve visited (in this vacation and previous) have recycled and been generally clean litter-wise, and their water has been drinkable etc etc, but i visited Aqaba, Jordan yesterday and they didn’t seem to recycle.
now, at home we do recycle and everyone i know has the appropriate bins, but the city centre and various streets are not the best since the laws aren’t really enforced by police and there are no littering fines being given which is sad. as someone who wants the planet and everything on it to actually LIVE it saddens me to see that some places don’t recycle at all or take care of the earth.
on the ship there are various notices to conserve water and many recycling bins, they encourage us to reuse towels to lessen the amount of laundry they do, and the lights in our staterooms need a card to turn on so that when u leave the room and take the card with u the lights go off, which i guess lessens the electricity they use.
the thing is, the uk is generally cold weather wise but last week my mum told me that it was one of the hottest easter’s they’d had. it was about 30 degrees (celsius) which is hotter than the average summer in wales. the uk doesn’t generally have a/c’s like in america because we’ve never needed them, but i guess it’s time we got them installed because it’s getting MUCH hotter nowadays.
basically, recycle and try to use less energy, for money AND the planet.
