It makes a lot of difference when people are discarding recyclables into trash cans.


Most postal stations are by a pool. There is a trash can by the pool, not far from the postal station, but far enough that people are not going to walk over to it to throw their junk mail, which should be recycled, into the trash can. Use the trash cans for trash; take your junk mail home and recycle it.


It's not political. It's environmental. Too many people think the environmental awarerness thing is political. I want this planet to still be around for my grandchild's children.
