Do you think more people should be recycling their rubbish?

Yes! My town actually just started a new recycling program last month with new bins that allow more to be recycle then before! (i wrote a hub on it) what bothers me is some of the backlash complaining about how big the bins are (even though you only have to put it out twice a month!) I think if people knew more about where their trash has to go and how much it cost they would probably try to recycle more, or at least I would hope they would!

Yes, I see my neighbour never using her recycling bins and it annoys me so much. We recycle everything we possibly can for collection once a week. In one of the council run areas in Scotland, they were talking about increasing the council tax on properties who did not recycle regularly.

I think this would encourage people to recycle more and I also think it would be fair to impose a tax or penalty on folk who do not recycle. I'm glad to say that it is a big issue in schools here and they encourage all the children to recycle and become aware of their environment and ways that they can help to save it. What a great question.

Thanks jacqui2011 I agree. The reason I did ask was because this is a big issue in my neighbourhood. There are also recycled bins that have been stolen.

I think the council needs to address these issues as there is far too much non-recycled waste being tipped in the landfills that creates a difficult job for the rubbish collectors and of cause adds to the pollution of the environment.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
