town meeting(12/8)

The topic of this discussion was trash. The town tries to separate trash into many categories, but some people don't want to do that.
There were five panelists: Kazutaro, Starkey, Yutaro, Kozue, and Aiko. Kazutaro works at trash company, and agree with the opinion which should separate trash. He insisted that people who doesn't separate them should pay some money. Starkey is a professor of environmental studies in Kyoto, and according to Starkey, plastic make dioxin which is bad for environment if they are burn with other kinds of trash. Yutaro is an university student and lives alone. He doesn't want to separate trash because it is a pain for him, and a bag for trash is too expensive for him that he doesn't want to buy it. Kozue is a housewife and have children, and 35 years old. She disagree to separate trash because there are too many trash in her house and she can't separate all of them and doesn't know well how to separate them. Akio is a top of Mdnald, and he disagree with the opinion. His company have so many rubbish every day, and there are no spaces to keep separated trash. He insists that the amount of trash is very different from house, so he didn't want the company of trash to think his company as the target for separating system. After break time, a panelist suggested that make some size for a trash bag. Making small, middle, and big size, and people who don't have so much trash like Yutaro can buy the small size cheaper. Everyone attending the meeting agree with this opinion. Another panelist suggested to make a calender for the people who don't know the way of separate and the day of which kind of trash are corrected. The outcome of this discussion is to gather trash every day only for company like Akio's, and present trash box for citizen if they separate trash correctly.
In my opinion, people should separate trash for environment. In this discussion, they separate trash into only 5 types. I think it is too few and it is easy to separate into only 5 types!
This discussion was nice, but some people talked too much, and some are not. If all of the members say their own opinion, their discussion gets better, I think.
