I applaud their efforts and everyone who abides by their rules.
I think to myself how something such as you described will NEVER happen in TV. Can you imagine?
Half the residents here complain and moan about just having a trash can and the developer obviously has no plans to change the way things are done!
Going the extra mile here just isn't in anyone's agenda to do the right thing to help the environment.
I see no beneficial results happening.
Yup. Most people here are inherently lazy and can't be bothered.
It's sad that the next generations are the ones who will be paying the price for all the things we aren't doing.

If you look at the ongoing comments regarding doing anything to help environmental things, you will see that many residents are against them. I say against them because they do nothing to show they are doing anything positive; progressive thinking is not in most people's vocabulary. I'm not just speaking about recent comments. I'm speaking about comments that have been ongoing for years.
I see plastic items in trash bags on trash day -- not for recycling but in with other trash.
Maybe 1% of residents compost (1% is even doubtful) and there are many residents who throw compostable garbage in with their trash.
Do you know how many plastic bags are going into the landfill on a weekly basis? Thousands! And they will never disintegrate in our lifetime and perhaps not even at all!
But residents don't want trash cans and some even say they will still use plastic bags. Why???
Truthfully, if anything progressive or ecologically sound is to happen regarding trash, it must begin with the developer.
How many people do you know who
refuse to buy water in plastic bottles?
Frankly, I don't know anyone who doesn't, but I don't and won't. And no; I'm not perfect, but I do try.
Should I go on? I think you get my drift. Enough said!
