  • No, it’s not: it’s a fine you pay because it’s assumed you’ll litter some bottles: not all bottles have Pfand, which is nonsense: soda yes, juice not.

    And the number of bottles lying around? Germans come back from Spain praising how clean the streets are and Spain has no Pfand system. That’s just not true.



  • Nah, in Germany you’re not paid for cleaning anything. You aren’t getting any money: you are fined 25 cents (for some glass bottles it’s 15, for some 8) when you buy the drink in case you don’t recycle. You might get that money back if you bring the bottle back to the supermarket, they accept it, and the return machine is working at the time. It’s a scam.













  • Such a wasteful, broken system

    That’s 90% of online shopping there. It’s hard to hear, but we as costumers are part of the problem. Stop buying so much shit online. Go to a brick and mortar shop. Touch it, feel it, try those pants.

    Online shopping is a fucking waste and every day we have dozens of shipping companies coming to the city with their vans to drive through each street bringing small packages to every apartment. Polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic. Just because we are too lazy to go to a shop and buy it in person.

    We probably don’t even need it. And yes, I know there’s not a shop next to me that sells X or Y. Do you know why? Because we’ve been killing small brick and mortar shops for 20 years with our online shopping. We created this problem and we have to fix it. Fuck the “broken, wasteful system” and support your local shop.
