Mrs.C, Bucharest. She used to work in commerce and now she is still working in a natural products company. She likes to know she has something to do every day. She doesn't throw away anything that can be reused. The casseroles and bottles are used to send food to loved ones and to store various things in the house or in the fridge. Because there is no selective waste collection point nearby, she sends all the plastics or bottles that she no longer uses to her countryside house
