Are you savvy when it comes to recycling rules?
How much effort do you put into properly disposing of waste? How frequently do you recycle? Are you conscious about what, or how much, you put in the garbage? Are you sure you know which trash goes into the recycling bin and which goes into the garbage can? Did you learn anything from the trash-sorting game? How much do you feel like you know about recycling in general? Is recycling important to you and your family? Why or why not? How often do you repurpose or reuse things?
Are you vigilant about not putting recyclable items into the garbage? In a typical week, what kinds of things do you throw away? Do you ever feel guilty about what, or how much, you toss out? How much responsibility should fall on an individual to understand that language? Is the complexity of the rules a fair excuse for not properly recycling?
A growing number of states and cities have banned single-use plastic bags. Some cities and counties have set up curbside recycling programs. Others have banned plastic foam products, which can’t be recycled. Has your hometown taken similar steps? Has it tried a different strategy? What else do you think your community can do collectively to cut back on plastic waste? What can you do? Can even small efforts made by individuals truly make a difference?
