Wales has long been a decent recycling nation, and the Welsh government have put a number of measures into place over the last few decades, and now the hard work of people, businesses and organisations across the country has landed us almost at the very top of the tree as the second best recycling nation anywhere on the planet.

00:00Yeah, and I think maybe it's sort of a spread of values, maybe, going on, so, who's the first?
00:10It's Austria are first.
00:11Austria, so Wales are second. That's mad, yeah.
00:15I think in terms of achievements, you know, by the Welsh Assembly Government and people as a whole,
00:22that's something definitely to be proud of, certainly in terms of combating climate change.
00:27So, yeah, it's a big thumbs up from me.
00:30Yeah, no, I think it's good to do something practical for the environment,
00:35and I think that's quite a nice, like, measurable way of showing that we're doing stuff.
00:39So, yeah, I think it's really good.
00:40I'll tell you what I think. I think that Wales takes a universal approach,
00:44and a universal approach will be adopted by the rest of the world.
00:47In 15 years' time, what we're doing in Wales, we'll be doing everywhere else in the UK,
00:51and that's because it takes a universal approach.
00:54We have to look at what we're doing as a country,
00:56otherwise we can't take it down to our own personal radical responsibility, right?
01:00We've got to be from the top down, and then the bottom up.
01:03Yeah, it's something very to be proud of.
01:05Yeah, definitely.
01:06In the world is a lot.
01:07It's a lot of world.
01:08Yeah.
01:09I think for a small country as well.
01:11Yeah.
01:12So small.
01:13In fact, in comparison to, like, American stuff, definitely.
01:15Definitely, and I think that the good thing about Wales making the steps in recycling,
01:21there's a lot of talk about individual responsibility with recycling,
01:24but we mustn't forget corporations produce more waste than all of us combined,
01:28so if Wales are doing something to encourage corporations to do their bit as well,
01:32that can only be a good thing.
01:34Yeah, very positive.
01:36They've had a sort of re-change of how the recycling's done,
01:39so I suppose that suggests it's worth it.
01:42It's a little bit more tricky to sort everything out into the different containers,
01:46so, yeah, it's nice to hear.
01:48Yeah, it's where I said my work.
01:50We've gone from, like, two bins to five different types of bins,
01:53so it's really kind of sourcing it at source,
01:55which I assume is pretty good to get it done.
