Norway saving the environment

Going to Norway was a very fun experience; I got to learn a lot about Norwegian culture including their policies dealing with nature. Norwegians are very ecological and have many little things help keep the world clean. For example when you flush a toilet you can save water by pressing one button over another. They also save on plastic products and waste by recycling and reusing their bottles; they pay a kroner for every bottle you recycle and they reuse those bottles many many times. One of the biggest things they do is use public transportation; they have trains, ferries, a bus system and a tram system, and even when they aren’t using these methods of transportations many of them choose to walk or bike instead of driving a car. Most families only own one or maybe two cars compared to the United States citizens where they have one or maybe two cars per person.
