Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in Andorra!

Why does the community have this need?:

Andorra recycles and collects trash because it helps protect the environment and keeps everyone safer and healthier. Because tourists often visit Andorra for the hikes and mountains, it's important that Andorran residents clean up after themselves to keep the country beautiful. Plus, trash that is not properly disposed of can be smelly and disgusting and even lead to disease, so it's important that everyone does their part.

Is this need being met? How?:

Yes, trash and recycling collection is being met through weekly garbage collection by the Andorran government. In addition, to reduce plastic consumption, the Andorran government encourages citizens to use reusable shopping bags when at the grocery store. This way, you do not need to take plastic bags from grocery stores when buying produce or other groceries. In fact, grocery stores are required to charge you a ten-cent tax for each plastic bag you use on your shopping trip, so many Andorrans bring reusable bags with them everywhere they go! What are some ways you can reduce your plastic consumption to help the environment in the United States?
