On the plane, the flight attendants did try to separate plastic and paper cups from trash during cleanup. However, I've also seen that done on American flights, so that was nothing too innovative. I did not see an recycling of wine bottles, soda cans, etc, but who knows what they do with all that stuff when they are done clearing. I guess when you have 400 passengers on a red eye flight, the last think people are worrying about is the environment (best excuse if I've ever heard one).
Once arriving to my dorm, I found that my bathroom toilet has two different buttons. I assume it's for the difference in water power (one high and one low). However, neither are marked so naturally I've tried both over the last 36 hours... haven't noticed a difference yet but that's probably something I should look into. I have seen toilets like that in America, although VERY sporadically. After 36 hours of being in Denmark, I just realized that I haven't used a public bathroom yet, so I don't know if all toilets have two flush buttons, or just in my apartment building. I'll keep you posted on that...
The city is VERY clean. No trash on the streets anywhere. Even the smokers are pretty good about not throwing their cigarettes on the ground.
I don't know if this is the most environmentally friendly way of doing things, but I sure do enjoy it- My bathroom floor is heated! It is wonderful when getting out of the shower (which is just a shower head spraying onto the floor of the bathroom- like on a small boat) or when coming in from the rain (and yes, there is a LOT of it).
It's 2am here. More later...
