Recycling has been identified as one way to conserve resources. How might the approach to recycling differ between a developed country and a developing country?
There are many differences between a developed country and a developing country in the effort of recycling. In Japan, trash is being categorized as either 'flammable' trash or 'inflammable' trash. A can recycle bin will be placed beside every aluminum can based vending machine. In Malaysia, you can hardly find a functioning recycle bin---there are recycle bin but either people don't use them or no clearance of the full bin. The basic difference is recycling is already assimilated in almost every Japanese's life where as in Malaysia it's just a start. Although children in Malaysia are being educated and encouraged to recycle, but the society as a whole doesn't has such awareness. A reusable or recyclable thing are indifference with other trash. It is also a consequence that Malaysia are so rich in resources until people just take it as granted and never appreciate it.

when i go to Malaysia JB or some other place i found out that there are very little litter bin, so lot of ppl throw waste onto the ground.
Yes, Japan is a good example of a country with a highly sophisticated recycling program. Thanks for this discussion.
There are some lanjguage problems. As an example, look at these sentences:
In Japan, trash are being categorized as 'flammable' and 'inflammable'.
Although children in Malaysia are being educated and encouraged to recycle but the society as a whole do not have such awareness.
In the first you have a verb problem, and in the second a problem with repeating a transition. Do you see?
