90 tons of garbage
I read in the newspaper today that the carnival parade in Wiesbaden produced 90 tons of garbage that people left on the streets or in the garbage bins (partly through confetti and all that stuff that gets thrown, partly through the people who eat and drink and leave that garbage as well). 50 cleaners had been on the road to get everything back to "normal".
It's great to see that many people being happy and celebrating but I hope we can find a better solution for this problem!

Yeah, tell me about it...waste problems we have everywhere...at least they cleaned up...imagine in some countries where trash is everywhere on the streets. I hope that they recycle and reuse ;-)
Well, recycling seems to be our second nature here. Each household has at least 3 garbage bins (paper, compost, regular garbage) plus a "yellow garbage bag" for the plastics, foils, and everything else that is labelled with a green logo (called the green dot) that can be recycled.
I'm not sure if they're gonna reuse the confetti next year though ;-D.
