Recycling
I finished a drink today and a friend threw away the plastic container for me. Unfortunately, she threw it in the garbage. Me, being me, told her that I recycle and that she should pull that out (I had just changed the bag, garbage was empty except for the bottle). She then asked me if I seriously recycled. I said yes, she asked why. I told her I like the earth I live on.
I don't get what is wrong with my generation, but somehow they fell off the recycling boat. It's as if the simple concept of reduce, reuse, recycle doesn't make sense in their heads and it really depresses me.
Isn't this something we can teach kids in elementary school?
In a day in age where a movie like Inconvenient Truth packs theaters, why is there still so little recycling?
We're screwed at this rate.
Maybe instead of a war we could spend our money on recycling education.
What does it take to get a more legitimate tax on bottle and aluminum can use going?

I'm glad to see you are on board with recycling. When I was younger and recycling was being heavily promoted, I didn't really csre, and I knew some people who went out of their way not to recycle. Perhaps it was a revolt against being told to do something. I dunno, but I definitely recycle now.
