When I realized it was for recycling, it made me laugh: I immediately assumed that nobody would really respect these rules. "When I arrived in Sweden, I went to the 'miljöstation' (recycling station), and I was really amazed by how specific each bin was. "Before coming, I saw Sweden as a green country, basically recycling everything and producing so much renewable energy that it was exceeding their needs. The stereotypical image of environmentally conscious Swedes proved to be true:"People and especially students really care about the environment. Sometimes in students areas populated by foreign students those rules of looking after the environment are not respected (however)."
