Thank you, yard sales, for being the perfect way to say to your neighbors: 'We think we're important enough to charge money for our garbage.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Number one I think we should impose a fee or a tax on the transportation of trash per mile.
I always try to say, 'If you want to help the environment, try to do just two things. One, use less of your car. Second, separate your garbage.'
I always encourage our people and young business people that I meet to have a respect for cash, keeping some in their pockets and purses at all times. To me, that's essential.
We need to address our Nation's mounting garbage problem by generating less garbage, particularly paper waste.
We have a long tradition in this state of caring for our neighbors - it is truly an Iowa value.
We have been getting ready to recycle more e-waste by investing in infrastructure, providing grants to local government and working with industry.
On reflection, I am always pleasantly surprised when ordinary members of the public stop me in the street to say, 'Thank you,' I guess for making travel and other goods and services affordable to them.
We recycle everything in my house. I'm not into any particular organizations, but I'm doing my part and that makes me feel okay.
We can't have landfills forever, and we can't ask others to accept our trash.
Garbage removal is a citizen responsibility.
