The Truth About the 'Shrinking Middle Class'

In other words, putting bottles into a certain bin is too hard. You could have just said you were lazy.

LOL! but i guess that is what it boils down to. laziness. but there is no penalty nor a incentive not to be lazy in this case. all that has to be done is make it illegal not to separate trash and the whole u.s. would recycle. in germany, they had people who would spot check trash to see if people recycled. they would find bills or something with your name on it and you'd get fined. ahah..

Thats illogical thinking. The benefit would be indirect savings in tax dollars when the city collects money from the recycling program that goes to schools and the like.

It also saves spaces in landfills, which saves more money.

but there has to be an incentive or a decentive. you won't get the majority of people sold on an idea with your logic...it is correct, but most people stop thinking about their the second it hits the curb...

I recycle all the time and teach my kids to do so as well.

My incentive is the future.
