Spain and China have differences in punctuality norms. In Spain, informal meetings tend to be very unpunctual, with people arriving at varying times. However, formal meetings at work or with students respect schedules more, though people may stay later than scheduled without pay. In China, nonverbal communication differs from American styles due to a more collectivist culture. Greetings involve bowing the head slightly to show respect based on age. When agreeing informally, people use a gesture wishing for a long agreement.

Recycle
Plastic recycling is important to address as plastics are contaminating marine animals and most die of starvation with plastic filled stomachs. Plastics in the ocean fill the stomachs of marine animals so they can no longer eat and they starve to death. Increased plastic recycling efforts are needed to reduce plastic waste that ends up in oceans harming wildlife.
Pollution
The project aimed to reduce waste in the region by cleaning beaches, roads, and seas with the help of citizen volunteers. After the cleanup efforts, activities and conferences were held to raise awareness about global and local environmental problems caused by coastal waste, particularly plastics. Citizens were engaged to help clean the area and learn about sustainable consumption habits.

- 1. Spains and Chinas diferences Paul Garcia and Xiaojie Yang
- 2. Introduction to Spanish punctuality The truth is that in Spain you can find all kinds of people and customs. Generalizing is difficult in this case because depending on the situation or people can happen anything. Therefore, let us draw to the idea that the Spaniards are unpunctual.
- 3. Informal meetings In informal meetings Spaniards are usually very unpunctual. Sometimes we did not even stay at a specific time.For example: "We stay at your house after eating" As in Spain, we eat at around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, what time is it? At 4 o'clock, at 5 o'clock, at 6 o'clock? In general, this phrase means that the person with the speech will go to your house after eating, but can present at any time. We were at nine o'clock in the square.Now this does not mean that you are going to see them at 9 o'clock at night. There may be some friends who arrive at 9:30, others at 9:15 and others at 8:30.
- 4. Formal meetings Meetings at work or with students do tend to respect schedules. People are usually punctual. If you can not arrive at the agreed time for some reason, the ideal is to make a phone call explaining the reasons and the time that you will delay. You have to try to keep this from happening. The time of departure from work is different. People tend to stay longer than they should. In general, full-time contracts in Spain are 40 hours a week. In some cases 48 hours a week. This is about 8 hours a day. But almost everyone stays at work longer than they should. The time you work extra often is not remunerated.
- 5. Hand Comunication in China China is considered, like many other Asian countries, to possess a more collectivist and low-contact culture than that of the United States, making their nonverbal communication different than, and sometimes in conflict with American nonverbal behavior. However, there is evidence in all areas of China of westernization and changing cultural norms, the area of nonverbal communication being no exception. Though we can classify many nonverbal norms in China as the result of a collectivist low-contact lifestyle, we must acknowledge that differences exist regionally and personally in such a large country.
- 6. Ways to comunicate with hands in China greetings When you meet your professor you should lower your head and bend slightly to show respect. The same posture is used when a young man is greeting an old man. agreement This gesture is used in informal situations, when you reach an agreement with somebody else. In China, it is not only a gesture, but also a good wish. Each of you hopes the agreement will be long.
