All the Swiss I've met so far use most things over and over again, and take good care of them while they are using them. When something can't be used anymore, they do their best to recycle it. Only if it can't be recycled does it go in the ordinary refuse.
至今我所接觸過的瑞士人大部分的東西都是一用再用，用的時候總不忘好好保養，真的不堪使用了還要回收，不能回收的才當垃圾處理掉。
