Sweden brings to life the most incredible ideas for maintaining and protecting the environment. Moreover, Swedes are trying to draw attention to these problems in other countries.
A recent poll showed that almost a third of Swedish residents believe the environment and environmental pollution is one of the most important issues. In comparison, only 7% of the EU population are concerned about these problems.
Almost all industrial enterprises in Sweden regularly introduce innovative solutions to improve their efficiency and at the same time reduce energy consumption. The government also supports these efforts. For example, in 2005 there were introduced some tax incentives for energy-intensive enterprises. The Swedish government's goal by 2020 is to make energy usage 20% more efficient compared to 2008.
Incredible, but more than 99% of garbage in Sweden is recycled and reused. This fact has already been called the "Swedish recycling revolution". No other country in the world has ever come that close to waste-free production and clean water and air.
So, what is the Swedes' secret? Every family has several containers for garbage. Each container has a special sticker. One container is for glass, the other — for cardboard, the third — for metal, the fourth — for plastic, the fifth — for paper. And one more container — for food waste. The importance of sorting garbage is so entrenched in the minds of Swedes that many do it automatically.
