i heart recycling....and so should you

I have to give props to my mums for recycling. She has been recycling everything for as long as I can remember. It is from her that I learned my skills. It's still shocking for me to learn of people not recycling...but perhaps it's not as startling as I make it out to be. i wish i could give people more credit but maybe the majority of people are retarded. i know i shouldn't insult people, but come on. we do only get one planet which means we should all do what we can to reduce trash and pollutants. recycling may be one of the easiest ways to do it. so i was trying to find recycling statistics and i came upon this:



"Some states are already far ahead other states on the recycling curve. In Portland, Oregon, for instance, it’s surprising not to see curbside recycling bins -- while in Albuquerque, New Mexico it can be surprising to actually find someone who knows what recycling is, because of the sheer lack of curbside recycling programs available"

In an update to this bleak blog entry, my community now has recycling bins. This is exciting i guess. It will be easier for other people who don't recycle already. I see it as an increase in plastic, as in the plastic of the bin, but whatev. i guess i no longer have to spend time sorting the stuff.....although i probably would still want to. i'm anal about that shit.
