Money Related & Natural

Before we look up money related and nature words in Chinese, I want to tell you a fact. Taiwan has one of the most efficient recycling programs globally, with a 55% collection rate from households and businesses and a 77% collection rate from industrial waste in 2019. Why do we so good at recycling? Definitely not because we love our land, it is because you can’t just use any kind of bag to dispose of your trash in Taipei. Yes, you need to buy specific trash bags from the government. So if you don’t want to waste your money, you’d better remove all the recycling staff from your trash.
