We have been recycling for over 20 years. We are from Oregon and for us this was taking a huge step back in time. I remember how hard it was to switch the mind set. I just can’t help but wonder places like where we came from made this work in a huge scale- why can’t Florida follow their model and then the counties, cities will follow suit- just like what happened there.
I makes me sad when someone comes up with a great working model and no one sees it to repeat it.
There was time when Oregon was number one at recycling. Now that about the only thing I am going to tout for them.
But I do know this... it took the state to get involved for it to work on a mass level and economic feasibility.
That being said, I am not a proponent for state involvement but apparently at this, it was a good working model for all and earth.
