A good first step would be to install recycle bins beside the trash cans in the public spaces.


And for anyone who thinks that would be ugly, so are land fills, plus they smell!
That sounds reasonable. The "refuse" is different and going to different places. Removing waste cans altogether just seemed unrealistic.

It is a personal choice still, and no one way in itself is going to change global warming, it is just moving our arms and legs. REALISM is required. It is like the old saying, "every little bit helps, the old lady said as she peed in the sea". We all want to stop it, but unless the whole world participates it is a downhill slope. Lecturing others won't change them anymore than passing MORE laws about guns and drugs. We each need to do what we think is right. Lecturing people is like marching. It just ****es people off it they aren't on your wavelength.
