Recycling does create jobs. Other than that we seem to be wasting our time. Kind of like global warming.

I keep saying that more laws will not be effective. Individual responsibility is the only answer and unfortunately not all people will do it.

When we go to Oregon, they recycle everywhere - at the restaurants, in the airport, every place you can imagine. And they have separate containers in the public areas for paper, plastic, cans, glass, etc. Over time people are trained and it becomes a habit. To rely on the voluntary actions of people is just pure foolishness. Its like the seatbelt law. You always had a lot of people that refused to wear seatbelt, until it became law and they could get a ticket. But people do need to be educated to recycle properly.

This is a sincere feeling and view on your part but the debate you just stated was on a different matter and not on saving lives. One does not relate to the other. Often when we overstate our views, we lose credibility.

Perhaps you don't grasp that saving the environment ultimately means saving lives.

There are 5 trash cans at my postal station, trash cans all around and inside the rec centers, and trash cans at all the shopping centers, restaurants, and Government buildings. Apparently, none of the trash collected in these cans is recycled. It seems absurd that they send special trucks to everyone's house to pick up clear plastic bags for recycling every week.

To many believe throwing all the rubbish in a hole, covering it with some dirt, get some weeds and a few plants to grow is recycling and the way forward. "Why change?" is the mantra, "we have always done it this way." It's like sweeping dirt under the carpet, eventually it gets to much to hide. The youngsters grasp the problem, but until the dinosaurs have gone, nothing will change! |

Just exactly WHAT can be done to slow it down or stop it without the entire population of the world doing the same thing... is the matter of debate. Using seat belts will and can and does save lives every day with every collision. Using seatbelts WORKS now and immediately. The other efforts head us the right direction but does not at this point save lives.

More news of disposing of nuclear waste.
Germany is closing all its nuclear power plants. Now it must find a place to bury the deadly waste for 1 million years

The epitome of laziness: people can’t bring their junk mail home and recycle it there.
