Can you help?

I've (finally) sat down to start my interim report. *sigh* I should've started it weeks ago. And it's due in on Tuesday!!!!

My degree marking system goes like this:
1st year: 1000
2nd year: 2000
3rd year: 3000
4th year: 3000
Final year project: 1000

Totalling to 10000 marks. I think this interim report (of the final year project) is about 10% of the project mark. Which makes it oh, 1% of my entire MEng degree. It is important though, coz doing it will help me do the actual project later. But I just can't get myself started... >_<

Wanna ask something, since everyone's from different countries... is where you come from heavily promoting the ideas of "reduce, reuse, recycle"? Do people automatically sort their recyclable stuff from regular garbage before dumping it, what sort of incentives do they give you to recycle, do they teach it in school, etc? *offers cookies* Please reply!

*munches on cookies* Research says, that Australia is probably one of the top 3 countries that is worst in recycling. The gov. only reinforced it, during the past 6 years or so. We have four bins. One green - gardening, one black - general rubbish, one yellow - paper/cardboard, and one small box - bottles, glass, plastic...etc. These rotate every fortnight.

We were never taught in school, there's hardly anything on tv/advertisment and people uses plastic bags far too much. I think we're getting a bit better now, trying to catch up with the rest of the world. But we're still very very behind.

I was under the impression that Australia is very good at recycling! >_< I guess it's Canada then... although the two countries are quite different I always get their facts mixed up... I know too little about either place! XD

Thanks! Have a cookie! :)
