Has the Money Gone Out of Trash?
OK this is not one of those subjects I tend to spend much time on but in watching the evening news I saw this short spot on how there isn’t the money there used to be in recycling. Kind of a bummer really when you think about it. Many of us need a bit of encouragement to ‘do the right thing’ – especialy businesses. If we can incent them to dispose of trash in an environmentally friendly manner, all the better.
If businesses go from making money by recycling to having to pay for pick up, one has to wonder if they’ll start to opt for just sending it to the landfill. That would be unfortunate. Regardless of what you believe about the cause of the worsening of our fagile balance here on Earth, we should all do the right thing to keep our planet not just good for our lifetime but good for the multitude of generations to come.
