AFTER READING THIS ARTICLE I AM FELLING CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BURNING PROBLEM OF RECYCLING . REUSE OF THE RESOURCES IS BECOMING IMPORTANT DAY BY DAY AND THE RATE OF RECYCLING IS REDUCING GRADUALLY A OUTCOME. I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL TO ALL THOSE READERS TO TAKE STEPS FOR IT NO MATTER WE DON’T GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. IN THE END WE WILL HAVE A BETTER PLANET.

That’s exactly the problem we need to overcome – apathy. Just because there is no financial reward does not make it unworthy of our effort.

I don’t recycle because it just doesn’t seem worth it to me. Theres no real incentive to it, after seeing how destructive we are to the environment outside of aluminum cans anyway. Look at the oil spilling into the oceans, the dolphins being slaughtered in japan, all the other animals made extinct by men, and acres of forest being cut down slowly depleting our supply of oxygen.

Plus the refunds you get are pointless, as you have to pay the deposit on them to begin with. I dunno about you guys but I don’t drink that much pop, maybe a bottle or two a week I could recycle them and get my 10 cents back and over a period of 10 weeks make a dollar back. Or save up for a whole 52 weeks and get 5 dollars and twenty cents, but thats not gonna help seeing as I have to pay 30 bucks every week for gas is it. Oh and don’t forget to add the 52+ dollars I spent on the pop over the course of the year anyway.

If we made it respectable to throw them into the roads and gutters, someone would recycle them for profit. If the economy fails again, it may be me.
Instead, there are rules.

I might be wrong, but even out here in the suburbs, when I walk the dog I see them vanish in a day or so.
