Kultur 6 - Eric Vander Putten

I found the article about the garbage in Germany to be very interesting. I never would have thought that any country would take recycling trash to be that serious. In America, the most that we usually ever do is separate our plastics from our trash, and the only reason most people do anything about cans in Michigan is because they had to pay a 10 cent deposit on it and the only way to get it back is to recycle it. I feel that if I went to Germany I would probably be very confused by their garbage system and would probably just end up throwing it all into one container.

The article about the closed doors was also very interesting because it is so different from how it is in America. Like they said in the article, if someones door is closed then they probably do not want to be bothered and have it closed for a reason. It was interesting to read that Germans will usually always have their door closed even if they would like company.
