What are some problems you see when it comes to recycling garbage?
Widespread availability of curbside pick up of recyclables. The fact that we ship most of it out to third world countries and don’t really know what happens to it after that. People would rather throw stuff out then take the time to sort and clean out recyclables. Most schools, corporations, companies, stores don’t do it and home recycling is only going to accomplish so much. A huge amount of compostable food waste is thrown into a plastic bag in a landfill because people don’t view it as recyclable. Recycling isn’t the answer to all our problems because recycling uses more toxic chemicals and produces more carbon to produce an inferior product. Lack of knowledge about what is and isn’t recyclable and where to take things like electronics, paints, prescription drugs etc. N. http://badhuman.wordpress.
