Do you recycle?I put my cans in the
can recycling container, if it's there, but beyond that, no, I don't.

Yes, although I understand the local trash
hauler isn't enthusiastic about recycling and jumbles all trash in the landfill. Further
the newspapers are ground up and used as daily sealer. I compost and every bit of kitchen
waste and yard waste goes back to the land
Jill, 59

Absolutely
Laura, 35
Lowell, MA
Unfortunately, no. Baton Rouge
doesn't pick up recycling at apartment complexes, and
I'm a bit too lazy to bring it myself.
Amy, 23
Baton Rouge, LA
Yes.
Karen, 20
Marshelltown/Ames, IA
Yes. Everything I can. I even find
myself pissed off at those who insist on throwing out cans, bottles, and plasitc items
into the regular trash when they should go into the recycle bin.

I try to as much as I can...when I
drink soda, I usually bring the aluminum can to a
friend of mine at work who collects them and then takes them in for money. We also have a
recycling bin in my department at work for white paper. I also try to do the same at home.

I did when I was 18, but have discovered
that in my own house here in the big city, it's entirely too much of a pain in the rear
end.

We recycle all plastics, glass, newspapers
and magazines every week. They are pick up every week by the city.

Don't we all? If not, shame on you!
Pamela, 38

Hell no!
It's a great idea, but this is not a
solution, although the manufactures have manipulated the public into believing so. Don't
get me going here! Everyone forgot WHY we are recycling:
Because the Earth's resources are almost
gone, Because every computer disc comes with a 500 page book and in a box 5 times bigger
than necessary. Because car makers make cars that NEED to run on resources that ruin
the environment. Because we are making millions of things that are not
biodegradable: chemicals, toxins, plastics and fumes that ripped a whole in the
atmosphere and that NO ONE knows how to fix.
The manufactures had a problem: How can
manufactures make a profit and keep the consumer happy? Answer: Make the consumer
recycle our UN-biodegradable crap. That way we can still make a profit and the public will
feel responsible for the dying Earth.
The solution is for manufactures to stop
making crap. Biodegradable things recycle themselves. (Grrrr)

Doesn't everyone?
Jane, 60
West Linn, OR
Yes, my
household recycles everything possible. Cans, plastics, glass, cardboard, magazines and
even junkmail. Our vegetable scrapes go into the compost bin. We grind up the leaves from
our tree's to mulch the flower beds. We try to be earth friendly. Although I could do alot
better in the that department. I could use public transit more often. I could waste less
electricity turning my computer off when I'm not using it. I don't
Cindy, 41
Lowell, MA
Yes. I recycle newspapers, glass,
plastic, cardboard. I also try to give away clothing,
toys and items that I no longer need to other people. I feel guilty just throwing out
things that other people might be able to use.
Janet, 42
E. Brunswick, NJ
Yes, but disapointingly, our comunity dres
not recycyle aluminium, compost, paper, and glass are a yes though!
Helena, 31

To the extent required by local
ordinances.
Alias Irrelevante
The only recycle bin I use is on my desktop.
I use it religiously. I am saving the enviornment.
Anthony, 25
Baton Rouge, LA
at home i do, but when i'm out, no.
Lisa Marie, 16
Chicago. IL
yeah, I
recycle both at home and at work.
Ernest, 28
Washington, DC
Yes as
much as I possibly can.
Paper, plastic, cans, bottles go to recycle point.
Jumpers, clothes and bedding go to charity shop.
Food goes to my dog or the compost bin.
Books and magazines go to my workplace or the local Cancer Hospice.
