In Germany, empty bottles can be returned to the supermarket and exchange for some money.
It somehow created a job for people just walked around and collect for empty bottles.
However, given the tradition of people here that they do not simply littering their empty bottles, those collectors would have to start digging the dumpster..
Or asking people on their lunch / dining table, even in the canteen of the university.
I was somehow compassionate for their situation, but I believe that they deserve to have a better job.
Imagine a bottle for 10 cent..
The minimum wage in here is 8.50 Euro / hour.
Well, I hope they could get a better job or I really feel like providing them a job, but what?
Perhaps not from me, they could become a German teacher? Cleaner?
At least it would be more productive and contribute to the country growth, rather than collecting bottles which would eventually be recycled by the user.
More importantly, they would earn more.
Perhaps I should try to talk with them.
