If only my country and others would implement efficient waste cutting measures like these...
Proud of korea 🥳
Good for South Korea! This should be mandatory in all countries.
Awesome piece, crazy to think that the west is so far behind. Hopefully change will happen soon
Im proud of my country/ Thinking for future generation
yes you should be proud and I hope you're also taking steps in reducing your food and plastic waste:)
Does the system count food scraps that aren't necessarily waste, like banana peels or egg shells? Is composting a part of the system in any way?
Amanda Sandlin Anything that can't be made into animal feed -- like fruit peel, egg shell, nutshell, animal bones, and seafood shells -- belongs to non-recyclable waste, not food waste.
toe39 Is there an opportunity for composting? I guess I am wondering if you are charged for the food waste even if it's stuff like the shells/peels, or can you do your own compost and not get charged for that?
You would only be charged for what you put in the bin, so you won't be charged. If you have your own yard, you can definitely do your own compost. Non-recyclables are charged by the volume, while food waste is charged by the weight. You would put your shells in the non-recyclables, so it will count by the volume along with other normal waste.
I disagree that fruit peels, egg shells or animal bones can't be used for animal feed.
Andreas is one of the nicest dudes I've ever met.
That JW Marriot hotel Gangnam is only one block from my house, so me and my friends often go there for the birthday parties. And everytime I go there, I think marriot is sucks. It costs about 100 dollars for one meal at the buffet name 'the cafe', and the sushi is all dry and not fresh or even delicious. I think lotte hotel buffet at jong-ro or Hyatt hotel buffet has much more reasonable price and fantastic foods.
+Absolon Jean ... i've stayed at *The Grand Hyatt Seoul*, the *Sheraton Seoul D-Cube*, *The W* at *Walker Hill*, *The Sheraton Grande Walker Hill*, *The Westin Chosun*, & a handful of other less glamorous places. from what i remember, the food at all these places was pretty good. the restaurants & buffets (in the hotels that had them) were, for the most part, slightly overpriced. w/ a discount card for staying at the hotel, the price was OK, but going in off the street, not sure i would spend so much on a single dinner unless it was a special occasion.
the *Grand Hyatt Seoul* was the most overpriced & over-hyped place i've been too. the interior lobby/lounge is amazing; everything else, not so much.
if you have $50-$75 to spend, i recommend the breakfast/lunch/buffet at *Sheraton Seoul D-Cube*. the lobby & restaurant are located at the top floor, so the 360-degree view alone is simply amazing.
for what it's worth, the *BEST* hotel/restaurant/buffet i've had in Korea was at the *Hyatt Regency Jeju*.
also, i've hear good things about *LOTTE* properties (Seoul & Jeju), but don't have the $$$ for that; plus, i don't think they take reward points like these other hotels :(
👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹
Maybe they should have public refrigerators, so the poor and the needy can eat the leftover food.
🤣🤣🤣🤭
Food production is not the problem on planet earth. Wasting food would only be an issue if we had a shortage of both food-producing soil and energy laden livestock. The "wasted" food doesn't leave the planet. Its biomass returns to the food production cycle via landfill that one day will become food producing soil. These films are just another way to heap guilt on the prosperous and boo hoo for the poor. The ultimate waste deterrent is already in place but the nitwits who made this film belong to the movement that is trying to DESTROY that safeguard. In a capitalist society, waste impacts the bottom line. Wasteful companies will be less profitable. In order to make more money companies constantly seek to be more efficient. Oh, look! Another by-product of capitalism saves the day. The only thing afflicting this planet is socialism.
