Recycling in Évora, Portugal
by Ranger Kidwell-Ross
Évora is a city of contradictions. Although loaded with history and
ancient architecture, it's planted squarely in the fast-paced environs of the worldwide tourism industry of the 21st century. By all appearances, its citizenry is more committed to recycling than the inhabitants of most European cities I visited. There are separate bins for glass, paper and metal available throughout the city, and the citizens seem proud to
participate in this program. However, the challenges faced by the
town might well be characterized by the cartoon I spied on Cordiero's
office wall.
