Green Student Life: Sustainability in Czechia

When I first arrived in Prague as an international student, one thing that quickly caught my attention was how visible sustainability is in everyday life. Walking through the city, I often noticed clothing donation containers on street corners, recycling bins for electronics, and farmers’ markets selling fresh local food on weekends. At first, these small details felt unusual to me. But over time, I realized they are simply part of daily routines in Czech cities.

My Journey Learning Czech

It’s 2014 and I’m standing in a small shop in Long Island City, New York - Slovak Czech Varieties. Offering products from the two countries that previously made up Czechoslovakia, they have a modest collection of Czech and Slovak books. I pick one up. I think, maybe I can identify at least one of the of words I know? Žaba, tráva, kráva, pes, brambor, opice, Akta X? I open the book. “Wtonkg woeikl kje oweiuot.” Maybe the next page? “Lkjkdgsik lksdjgls kiotwgndkjhg.” Nope - just gibberish. Am I ever going to learn this language?
