Are there statistics on that?


Instead of asking all those questions, just start doing something. Do the thing that's in front of you, however small.


My friend says nobody on her street recycles anything. That's just wrong. But it's not going to make me give up and not recycle.


If we hadn't had people campaigning against smoking, nobody would know it's bad for your health. It was the kids who started campaigning to their parents, after what they learned in school.


Same with recycling and other environmental issues. It has to start somewhere. Frustration doesn't let you off the hook. Stop asking and start doing. (That's my wish for everyone).

You are preaching to the choir and so am I. NO kids stopped us from smoking. Wisdom from the medical community did.
