Recently, our school has being very active with a recycling project in campus and with that being my pet interest I did not delete those mails without reading them. The follow up inspection results were hilarious.
Excerpts from our school circular,
In general, there is an improvement in recycling activities on campus as evident through the increase in the correct types of recyclables in every recycling bins. However, it is observed that people have a tendency to throw plastic bottles into the ‘yellow’ recycling bins meant for aluminum cans.
4. Bins in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences have the highest level of segregated wastes.
5. Recycling bins in the Faculty of Engineering have the highest level of contamination. These bins contain wastes that cannot be recycled or recyclable wastes were thrown into the wrong bins. For example, Styrofoam food containers in “Paper” bin, paper cups in “Plastic” bins and “Can” bins.
Conclusion:
(1) Students from the faculty of engineering can’t differentiate the materials of the wastes. Styrofoam is not paper, it is not even biodegradable!
(2) Students from the faculty of engineering can’t read. Plastic, Paper, Cans.
(3) These students don’t give a damn.
Sigh. Life is not just about algorithms, numbers and machines.
