Waste sorting is a major issue around the world. Different countries are using different methods to sort their trash.
UK: smart bin
A UK company has invented a "smart bin" to help with garbage sorting. People just need to drop their garbage into the bin. A camera and sensors(感应器) in the bin can tell what type of garbage it is and correctly sort it. The bin also compresses(压缩) the waste so it takes up less space.
South Korea: food aside
South Korea is using a method called "Pay For Your Trash "to encourage its people to reduce food waste. When throwing away trash, people have to separate their food waste from their other waste and put it in a bin. The smart bin then weighs the food. People have to pay for their food waste by scanning (扫描) a bar code(条形码) on the bin. The more they throw away, the more they pay.
Japan: careful sorting
Japan is leading the world in garbage sorting. They sort garbage so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps(瓶盖) go into different bins.
Different types of paper products also have their own bins -newspapers,magazines and cartons (纸板箱). There are also factories that make bags, clothes and dolls out of recycled waste.

We were flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. when I found young mother struggling with her baby. Everything was a mess, and the mother, who was near hysterics(溃), told me she had no more diapers(尿布)or other clothing onboard the plane.
Through her tears, she informed me that they had missed their flight the previous night in Los Angeles and she and her son had spent the night on the airport floor. With the saddest eyes I had ever seen, she told me she was on her way to New Hampshire to send her son to the family that was adopting him. She could no longer support him.
As a mother of three, I could see her despair and feel her pain. I immediately rang the flight attendant call button and asked for help from the other flight attendants.

Then I asked several passengers with babies if they could spare extra diapers, formula (奶粉) and clothes for the baby. After the young mother and her son had changed their clothes and the baby had gone to sleep, I sat with her, holding her hand, trying to provide some support for the rest of the flight.
Once we landed, I walked them to their next flight, which would take them their final destination. As she thanked me for all I had done she said softly, "You' re not the flight attendant, you're a sky angel.”
Though I no longer work on the plane, I still recall that young woman, and the gift that she gave me on that special day -that we truly are all spiritual beings traveling in human form.
