One thing that amazes me is the lack of places to throw out your stuff. In Geneseo, the garbage room was ten steps away from my suite. I could take out the garbage five times in a minute if I really wanted to. Recycling was readily available, usually next to every garbage bin. They even provided a recycling bucket in each room. In Russia, I feel bad about not recycling. It pains me to throw away paper and I am keeping empty five-liter jugs of water on my desk, hoping that the recycling fairy will magically appear to whisk away my plastic disposables. And the Russian students thought they were more environmentally friendly for signing the Kyoto Protocol. If only they practiced what they preached...
