The Japanese have a more detailed method of recycling that we do and for them recycling is a state of mind. The mantra seen on their signage is reduce, reuse, recycle and respect. The respect feeds into the belief that nothing should be wasted. All things have a soul and all items have a value, respect for nature is high.
