Fun in Recycling

Attractive bins that encourage recycling of plastics, aluminium and paper are found in Ocean Park in Hong Kong. There is a 'Talking Tree' that has an owl popping out every few minutes to educate park visitors, especially children, where to throw their empty bottles and cans.

If you cannot read, you will still be able to get the recycling message.

For adults, recycling is presumed to be practised consciously and so the bins are less fanciful.

This is the first time that I have seen such bins in the city. They are just outside the City Hall MRT entrance, next to St Andrew's Cathedral. I pray that these bins will not turn into white elephants. Use them, know that you are doing a good deed when you take the bother to throw the right trash in the correct bin.
