While the blue plastic slippers don't conform to the aesthetic dictates of sleek Scandinavian design, they do prevent dirty snow from being tracked inside and keep the floors clean. We had to don these plastic slippers before entering the doctor's office this morning, though Ira says that they're fairly common at places other than health-care providers as well. Sweden has made me recycling conscious, and I wondered about the fate of the used slippers. Would they be recycled or were they destined for the trash heap, like the infamous blue bags in Chicago.
