Take a simple task like throwing a used tea bag.
What will an average Indian person do? He will throw it on the road... Well, don't jump upon me, I said average Indian (If you happen to throw it in dustbin, then be sure that you are above average)
What will an average American do? He will throw the teabag in dustbin.
What will an average German do?
He will think for 2 minutes before throwing the teabag. Well, now something has struck into his mind. Hold your breath! He will tear the teabag and take out the wet tea powder. He will tear off the stapler and remove the cardboard paper displaying the brand name and the string.
Now he will throw wet tea powder in a dustbin marked *Biodegradable but not recyclable*
He will throw the stapler in a dustbin marked *Non-biodegradable*
And he will throw the string, the cardboard paper and the teabag paper in a dustbin marked *Biodegradable and Recyclable*

Dude!
good effort at a post but it appears obvious you have only seen Germany up close . Its ok to harp about the foreign visits but the garbage separation happens everywhere, it only a matter of who choses to follow it. In India, obviously many different reasons affect this practise.
and yes, my post is anonymous as my email was not accepted here...

I have talked to many foreigners in many forums. And one thing they would like to change in India is the perennial habit of throwing anything.. So the level at which waste separation happens doesn't really matter!
And check my latest post, if you feel I am anti-Indian :)
this is before reading your post.
why does one need tot alk to foreigners to understand what needs to be changed in our own country ?? do u ask your neighbours before renovating your own house?? And I have written already that in India several resaons affect the garbage separation.
but what is most painful is look west approach even the so-called educated people seem to have.
