Ok I'm getting off track, but the one thing that made me really happy about the airport was that I noticed all the trash cans had two compartments, labeled "inorgánico" and "orgánico." That's right, the airport in Mexico city actually composts! Apparently Mexico City is behind this effort, which isn't going that well so far, but at least they're trying. Also interesting: there was a noticeable lack of "advertising" for their composting program. Certainly, if a U.S. airport started composting, there would be some cheezy signs around saying something like "We're going green! Help us compost!" But there was none of that, for better or for worse...
I've never seen composting in any city in the U.S., but maybe it's out there somewhere. Southwest airlines started including recycling bins at their gates, so I guess they're trying too, but I don't know how much success they're having. It seems like composting would be a lot easier to control and implement, but maybe I'm wrong.
