In an effort to fight the "throw - away culture" and promote reuse and repair, the city of Berlin has taken the unique step of opening its own secondhand department store.

This isn't your grandma's thrift shop (旧货商店). It resells perfectly good items that would otherwise be thrown away. A pun (双关)on the German words for "department store" and "conserving house", B - Wa(h)renhaus sells a wide variety of products. Far from simply selling old items, the electronic goods have been fixed by expert technicians and come with year's guarantee. And, to reach more secondhand shoppers, the store was set up right in the middle of the famous Karstadt department store.

With the success of its first six - month trial run, the city plans to open four more similar operations in other parts of Berlin. By 2030, it hopes to have at least one location in each of Berlin's 12 districts. Since 2008, the city has reduced average annual household waste by about 25 pounds per resident. It also recycles about 49% of its mineral construction waste. Currently, the city estimates (估计) that 8% of abandoned electronic goods and 6% of huge items thrown away can actually be reused.

"Three years ago, we started collecting all kinds of used goods," city spokesperson Dorothee Winden said. "The goal is to give these things a new life with somebody who can use them."

Once a blind man fell flat on his face, which was awful but finally harmless. His service dog, however, was trained lo tum to an adult if the owner had an epileptic seizure (癫瘤发作). While the dog did what it was taught, the first person it found was merely annoyed but not alarmed. Thankfully, the dog's owner was not in the situation of medical emergency. But the experience inspired him to share this information on social media, "If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help," the owner explained. "Don't get scared, don't get annoyed, and follow the dog! If the first person doesn't cooperate, it moves on.

Referring to the accident, a TV presenter asked a dog trainer, Olivia, some basic questions about service dogs, including how humans should react if an unaccompanied service dog approaches them.

"What they're going to do is sniff and gently push your leg," the trainer explained, specifically noting that service dogs are not usually trained to jump or bark. "If you see a dog in a vest without a person around it, follow it." When asked if one should say something to indicate they're prepared to follow the dog, Olivia said," there's no clear command. Just start walking wherever the dog leads."

Olivia concluded the TV show by adding that those who rely on service dogs could train their companions to move along to someone else, if the first person the dog came upon reacted negatively to its request. Doing so could finally save the owner's life.
