It's so frustrating to be at a friend's or relative's house and watch them carelessly throw away plastic water bottles. As convenient as a garbage can is, why can't there be another bin placed right next to it? You can easily toss anything recyclable in there instead of with trash.
Everything in the world today is becoming less and less available, and what disappears quickly always ends up costing more. The need for recycling is important to keep our forests alive and our air fresh. Not to mention the amazing role model society we would be setting for our children.
If nothing about the future, and the kind of world we'll be forcing our children to live in matters to you, then think of how lazy you're choosing to be. YES CHOOSING! You're not forgetting, claiming to be ignorant or coming up with excuses. It's not expensive, it's not hard, and can't possibly make you feel bad. Households are usually already provided with recycling bins, or you request one and you get it, FOR FREE. AND trucks come to pick it up from your house!
To help jump start your new recycling attitude, here's a simple list of what can be recycled:
- Plastic
- Paper
- Cardboard
- Magazines
- Newspapers
- Aluminum (cans, bottles)
- Glass
- Beverage Cans
