it wasn't recycling it was rubbish as the 'Advantage' it said La Basura which is rubbish. And also the advantage was growing organic food (:

There was that Q about the environment. So the good thing was more recycling however there was more water contamination. Then it was positive that they were growing their own food however food packaging was an issue

Hmm, it said 'separar la basura', which is recycling. I agree about the organic food one, though...

I've added what I know. Do you remember anything else?

And can someone help with the ordering because I don't remember the numbers for the questions?

It might have been question 12. I think it was A+B, A, B, A+B

Right from memory I think I can get them all. So first was both a and b. Then it was impractical to take the train so it was just a, then it was he wants just a room next to themselves so that was only b. Laslty it was both a and b because he said he didn't want to go miles to a beach and lie in the sun when they could go museums and stuff
