Who knew? Taiwan is #1 in the world in two ways! No not the tallest building - Dubai has already built higher. No not the most Chinese speakers in the world, that's the other China. OK, you twist my arm, I'll tell....
First in the world for lowest birthrate! Some young women and men are vowing to never bear children because it's too expensive, it's hard to hold a full time job and spend time with kids, you have to give up a successful career. I guess they just can bear it. (Tee hee, punny!)
Also, first in the world for socialized recycling! (No, not the most garbage, No.) Here's what critics are saying: "The socialists are at it again!" "Get big government OUT OF MY GARBAGE CAN!" "What are they going to ask for next?! Compost your pets when they die?!" But wait! Maybe with earnest effort they actually can slow the flow of the waste stream. That would be a good idea. Some things just seem more logical on an island where the natural resources can run out quickly and the trash pile is spilling over into your back yard.
So three cheers (and at least 3 buckets) for recycling efforts, from the world leader in public waste stream awareness and reduction. Hip hip, Hooray!
