It is the year 2008 and paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass are still all thrown in the same bag and buried in a landfillI try to recycle but it is a bigger job than it should beShouldn't recycling be required?
try buying him a summer rug to put on him during the day.
That's a good question to ask yourself - why are you not required to recycle? Why aren't your neighbors? You need to get your community to put a recycling program into placeTry writing to your local representative, mayor and especially the local newspaper and ask why nothing has been done yetI live in New York City, which generates 14,000 tons of trash every dayEven here, bottles are separated from newspaper and cardboard in plastic bags or bundled, and the trash goes in a regular trash canUsually the building superintendent provides receptacles and does any final sorting before it all goes to the curbIn other cities I've lived in, every home gets two buckets in addition to their garbage can: one for plastic, glass and metal, and another for paperMany places also accept paper lawn and leaf bags, which are composted.
