Global Warming is a bad thing. With that being said I feel confident that I've informed my readers of the facts. Seriously though, who recycles? I don't know a single person that consistently recycles their trash. I think there are only 2 ways that we're realistically going to save our planet. The first and definitely least popular is with tough new laws put in place by top governments forcing their people and industries to recycle. The other and more favorable but less likely way is for new laws to pass that reward us for recycling.
On the first concept I could see the government adding heavy taxes to public trash disposal and adding non-optional recycle bins to dump locations. Also, there would be civil fines for not separating your trash properly. The later concept would be that you keep up with your glass, plastic and paper pounds per month (via the dumpsite) and are reimbursed via tax breaks. That really doesn't sound like a bad idea. Even if the re-imbursement was miniscule it would still be enough incentive to get me to do it. It goes without mentioning that the homeless would probably have our streets picked clean overnight. Just imagine, “Sir, can you spare some glass?” Why yes, yes I can. They’re practically begging you to throw empty beer bottles at them. Nobody loses, everybody wins.
