I have a company, and I've got to think about that. I'm trying to do my best there, and that's a much harder task. We recycle as much as possible, and we conserve. But I've always been one to save everything - I even walk up stairs on the very inside or the very outside to not wear out the tread.

I'm mad keen on recycling because I'm worried about the next generation and where all this waste we're producing is going. It has to stop. I wash out my plastic containers and recycle envelopes, everything I possibly can.

I am involved in Greenpeace. And I just recently completely switched my diet over to near-veganism. So you try to do little things that you can. I recycle every single day. Every single thing in my house that can be recycled is.

I have become quite good at repurposing and reusing much of what comes into the house. The goal is to generate as little waste as possible.

Recycling is an area where jobs could be created at low cost. Green collar workers. That's not very sexy.

People in south Manchester overwhelming want to be able to recycle more than they currently can - especially cardboard and plastics - and want more frequent and accessible collections, particularly for those living in flats.

If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they'll be all over it.

I'm an environmentalist; I recycle.

Years ago, we all talked about recycling and not dumping things down your drain and all of that, but talking doesn't help much. Basically, it's going to have to be legislation because the impact is so huge and diversified.

We live in a disposable society. It's easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name - we call it recycling.
