Think about it. How much our lives have been changed by the recycle bins?
Before they are spread, we threw all kinds of rubbish in one dustbin and did not bother to sort out them. In this case, many materials like cans and paper, which can be recycled, were wasted.
But after they are spread all over the world, our rubbish becomes more useful. We threw the materials which can be recycled into separate recycle bins. You can see the two recycle bins in the picture. The left is a recycle bin for drink cans and the other one is for waste paper. Those aluminum and steel cans are then sorted and baled locally and exported overseas. They are recycled into a range of products including drink cans, fencing wire and reinforcing bars. Waster paper are sorted, shipped overseas and recycled into newspapers, files and other paper grades.
These recycle bins are known to be first introduced in California and then they were spread and brought ease to people as well as contributing to protect our environment.
All these are the power of globalization. Other countries’ culture, product, fashion, politics, and the way of their life spread all around the world. It is globalization which causes many of us teenagers to listen to J-pop and many of the adults to watch the Korean drama “Da Chang Jin”.
Globalization is around us, here and there even without our realization.
