I have been talking to everyone about how expensive it is to live here in Switzerland. I found out the other day that a roll of ten small (like bathroom waste basket small) is $23.
Before you jump to the same conclusion I did wait to hear this rational. They want to encourage people to recycle! I don't believe we pay for trash pick up, rather it's paid by the bags you use. Plus recycling is free as well (at least not directly out of pocket).
I wonder how thy would play out in the US. Would people waste less and think more about what they are throwing away??

Old ladies will tear through the garbage for old tea bags to adorn the minni peral like hats they will wear to protest against the minority take over of the right to be a filthy nut job.
Thats just my opinion
Meg,
I know you're right. When I came back from Jamaica I really felt our materialism and wastefulness after not having hot water, or even water for that matter at times! But there is peace in living simply and frugal. I've definitely been more grateful for having food in my fridge, and water at the ready. Keep the blogs coming!
