(Puntuación máxima: 2 puntos)
Do you think youcan recycle? Then you must meet the villagers of Kamikatsu, in Japan! Not long ago life in Kamikatsu centred on cultivating rice. Now the tiny village in the densely wooded mountains of Shikoku Island in south-west Japan has a new obsession: rubbish. Kamikatsu’s aim is to end its dependence on incineration, and become Japan’s first zero-waste community. An hour’s drive from the nearest city, thevillage was forced to change the way it managed its waste in 2000 when new regulations on dioxin emissions forced it to shut down its two incinerators. “We were no longer able to burn our rubbish, so we thought the best policy was not to produce any” said Sonoe Fujii of the village’s Zero Waste Academy, a non-profit organisation that controls the scheme. Household waste must be separated into nofewer than 34 categories before being taken to a recycling centre where volunteers reprimand firmly, but politely, anyone who forgets to remove the lid from a plastic bottle or to wash out an empty beer can. “At first it was very hard work” said a 65-yearold villager as she emptied another bowl of vegetable peelings into the electric garbage disposal unit next to her back door. “It took ages to sorteverything into different types. But it comes naturally now.” Any waste that is not organic is taken to the village’s zero-waste centre. The site has a wide variety of items, from bottles, cans and newspapers to batteries, cigarette lighters, ballpoint pens and a surprisingly large number of broken mirrors. Despite some opposition, Kamikatsu’s recycling rate has soared from 55% a decade ago toabout 80% today.
