  • Hello, this is Six Minute English with me, Neil.

  • And me, Sam.

  • Today, we're talking rubbish.

  • Oh, that's a bit harsh.

  • I thought it was going to be interesting.

  • I mean, our topic is about rubbish, not that we are rubbish.

  • Oh, see, OK, do go on.

  • Thank you.

  • So the amount of waste we produce around the world is huge,

  • and it's a growing problem.

  • But there are some things that we can do, like recycling,

  • where I live, I can recycle a lot, and I'm always very careful to separate,

  • to split my rubbish into paper, metal, food, plastic, and so on.

  • But is that enough, even if we all do it?

  • Well, look a little more at this topic shortly, but first, as always, a question.

  • Which country recycles the highest percentage of its waste?

  • Is it A, Sweden, B, Germany, or C, New Zealand?

  • What do you think, Sam?
