  • Japan separates burnable stuff like paper and food waste from the non-burnable plastics and styrofoam type things. I believe they end up burning both though, but with different methods or temps or something like that. Metal and electronics etc doesn’t go in with the rest of the non-burnables. The only plastic bottles they separate for recycling are the PET kind.















  • But contrary to the prediction of SCT, such polarization did not abate among subjects highest in Numeracy; instead, it increased. This outcome supported ICT, which predicted that more Numerate subjects would use their quantitative-reasoning capacity selectively to conform their interpretation of the data to the result most consistent with their political outlooks.

    I dunno if equating numeracy with intelligence is a fair read, but an interesting study nonetheless.
