WHY should WE have to pay to recycle when the people getting our stuff are making money from it? I don't know if it's like this all over the USA but it is that way here in our part of Kansas and now I know it's like that where you live. In British Columbia Canada where I moved here from we get paid to recycle some things like certain plastics...pop cans...glass bottles...pop bottles. My daughter took in a trunk load of this type of stuff and came home with over $40 while we were visiting her. You don't very often see cans and bottles and things like that along the roads up there because even if people do throw things out as they're driving...other people will walk the roads sides and pick them up to make a bit of money. If people got paid to bring their glass and plastics to be recycled here in the USA more people would do it. It's a great way for kids to earn a bit of money...we used to have kids come by collecting bottles for Boy Scouts. It's amazing how people will clean beer bottles and cans out of their garage to give to the kids. We used to have our milk delivered in glass bottles twice a week (this is still done where I lived) and the milk man would take our empties away with him. We were all very conscious of recycling. I know there are people here that do it but I think most do not. Too bad. Hopefully things will change.Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-69840186283012181962011-10-09T16:44:54.560-04:002011-10-09T16:44:54.560-04:00Never were truer words spoken!

Unfortunately, they give us far too small recycling bins. It's overflowing by half a week.<br /><br />I feel your frustration, as I have a neighbor that doesn't recycle AT ALL. That bin just sits there in her garage, with clutter on top of it.<br /><br />Those are beautiful pictures you posted. You must feel so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty every single day.

I believe it is that our children, for generations, have not been taught how to listen to that inner voice. Maybe they don't have an inner voice to listen to.

We try to plan errands for minimal trips into town. I don't allow spraying on the property because our chickens and donkeys are foraging and grazing. Hubby's daughter works for a global environmental company and works with countries to establish policy. It's such an uphill struggle, but if we all do a little more....Denise at Autumn Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229028926029898680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-59448177216066969162011-10-07T09:04:13.258-04:002011-10-07T09:04:13.258-04:00We try.

We have recicling pick up every week with the garbage but the big stuff like furniture and bigger we take it once a year to a huge dump that does recicling and even some restoration. We compost,use our wood stove ashes as furtilizer on the gardens in the spring, Papa also uses his wood chips and shavings from his wood work shop for the gardens so ya we do what we can here cause we care about our land and animals and our future.
