Default Seems "saving the earth" has gone out of fashion

Just a head up on those bins at the various Publix, they have become VERY picky, not sure if they even accept newspapers and magazine any more. United Methodist church behind 466 Publix USED to accept as much paper as people could bring, even had a large dumpster to deposit same, but think maybe that has stopped too ? In short, it seems that that "save the earth, there is little time left" warning on TV news, schools, even churches, has gone by the way side since it no longer PAYS BIG BUCKS ! Suddenly, how much waste we produce is not longer a priority. I recently hauled a large stash of empty water and soda bottles to Public only to find their "plastics" bin says "XXXX NO plastic water and soda bottles ! Don't know if there is any place that accepts these in The Villages, but if you know of a CLOSE place that does, please post it. Thanks.
