Germany began its organized recycling efforts in the early 1990s, particularly following the enactment of the Packaging Ordinance in 1991, which mandated the recycling of packaging waste.

Rudeness and arrogance are never tolerated by Germans. Intolerance is frowned upon as well.

-- "Zwei" is German for "two". I presume, then, that half of a "zwei" would be an "ein" (German for "one"). --
