I agree that the current separation isn't ideal. I was thinking of a
combined display of Map + Ranking. Ranking could be made much more
slim, so that both fit next to each other.

Actually, yes. Good that you ask. We don't have the main category
labels yet translated to Italian. I created another sheet "Category
Metadata". It would be great if you could fill in the Italian version.

First, the data series has to be entered in the "Series Metadata"
sheet. I have done that by replacing the "environment3" series.

For the data entry, I think it's best we meet on Skype and I show it
to you directly. I'm online.

I am wondering about the meaning of that data series. Does it really
mean percentage of *recycled* waste, or just percentage collected
seperately from general waste? Google Translate of the according page
gives me the impression that it's only about the collection, not about
the use in the end.
