Resources

South Korea has not much in the way of natural resources.  A lot of what they want or need is imported.  This has led to a unique way of thinking most Americans wouldn't consider.  Recycling.  It is very common.  You have to buy trash bags for your trash... but nothing for your cans, bottles, cardboard.  In is cheaper and easier to simply walk to the dumpster and deposit your trash in the appropriate bin.  Here at the academy, if you want to through something away instead of recycling it, you must have it in a pink bag.  No exceptions.  Recycle or pay.
