We need to address our Nation's mounting garbage problem by generating less garbage, particularly paper waste.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's hard to get everybody to recycle paper and plastic, let alone.
In the draft plan, we're looking at recycling 20 percent of our garbage by 2010.
Garbage removal is a citizen responsibility.
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.
Not everything needs to be recycled.
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.
When you have all these traces of trash moving around, you can ask yourself how can we make the system more efficient. Then we can make better decisions. And perhaps we will not throw away the plastic bottles that go every day to the dump.
If recycling is the future, then we must focus our efforts on mitigating negative impacts to our community while protecting our environment.
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.
Waste paper is like a forest - paper recycles itself, generation after generation.
