+ add your ownThis post is inadequate is the stuff composted to make methne or just burnt to pollute the atmosphere?? also a lot more should be repaired reused or better not bought in the 1st place then trashed.
Thanks.
I live in western Canada and I am appaled at how little we recycle. I have just spent 3 months in the UK staying with three of my sisters and could not believe how much they recycle, the local authorities provide the boxes and it is almost mandatory to use them, infact in some areas it is.
good post, but recycling is a struggle. In some countries, the middle and lower classes really look down on recycling now - possible due to the wonderful materialistic advertising campaigns that bombard 24-7
Thanks for the information.
thats good
There is so much more we could be doing. Wealth and affluence should be resources helping us solve our problems, not obstacles to creative thinking and an excuse for not doing enough.
How wonderful to see people begin to work at restoring our environment.
REcycle, recycle, compost, reuse, regift...
It's so encouraging when new and creative ideas begin coming from all over the world! Collaboration between all peoples is what will make the difference for managing our world in a sustainable manner.
