The waste of 24 hours

Hi! OK that's me first time....
I'm simply going to talk about what I'm doing right now: trying to put in place some waste management system at the campus festival of INSA: the 24H. And this is, if you believe it or not, a widely cultural subject. For me, coming from some northern Europe country, it is something natural to sort my waste. Here in Lyon we have a similar system, so when I first arrived I thought:"Ok, it's like home juste put all your plastic cans and cheese papers in it...". But that was totally wrong. Later, when I had my first look at the indications on the garbage can for sorting, I had to admit that I had been wrong. I did a lot of very bad things in terms of waste management. You have to know that if the "tri" is bad, that means that if you things in it that don't have to be there, they put all back together and the whole work was for nothing. I knew that, so I felt bad. And now the festival: the organisation committee had the good idea to put a better waste management system in place than in the years before. For me it seemed to be clear to do it right and as successful as possible, but not every body in the committee shared this opinion. But anyway, they help us very well. The great problem was to make people put their glass and their plastic bottles in right bags! In such a festival context it's very hard to make the people doing the right thing. And if there are no widespread sorting habits it's even worse, you have to do a lot publicity for your garbage cans! So we tried to put over every waste bag a panel which indicates what to put inside. Know it's not sure how it's gonna work, we will see.
But if everybody does a little it can make huge things move, so have a nice weekend and use the right bag for littering.
