So it causes the greatest impact in terms of climate change.

And you have wildfires all over Greece and you're thinking, you know, why are they still putting 80% of their waste

And that's the brilliant thing about Irish people now is that we are shocked when we go to those countries.

So when I was in Corfu and we're in an Airbnb and I'm asking the hostess, will I separate the recyclables from the general waste?

And she said, no, no, put it all in one bag.

to.

Yeah, and I just couldn't.

And I talked to a colleague this morning, an English colleague, who said the same from Corfu.

We just can't.

It's programmed

to separate.

Well, I separated them and I left them outside in two bags, but they were put together undoubtedly after that.

And, you know, all the waste is in...

They're in communal bins on the streets.

So one instance I saw, which amazed me, I'm driving along a road and there's a guy coming the other way and he has the black bag in his hand as he's driving and he throws it at the bins as he's driving by them.

bottles everywhere.
