I am from canada, and where i live recycling is the norm.

I am right now visiting us and i was horrified to find out many states still don`t recycle anything at all.

For a technologically advanced country like that i think its a real shame.

USA should lead the way in regard to sustainable living, caring and respecting the earth.

We are using earth`s ressource at tremendeous speed
soon we will be more than 8 billion people on this planet
its time we make the necessary move to provide our children with the same chances we had.

start recycling now.
please help starting recycling programs in all USA by signign my petition at change. org at the following adress:

I don't see many recycling bins where I live. It's a shame. Iv been wanting to get some recycling bins from time to time, but I think my family would be the only ones on the block with some.

  There is no shame in being the firsts to do what is right! Its good to encourage your family to do so.. When you have your own place you can make your own choices.

Interesting story, I work in an industry where we produce lots of waste. A young lady needed assistance with a rather large project for the local University. After completion, she asked I really hope you recycled all that used material. I said, we can't because they don't have the infrastructure to handle the amount we get. - I kid you not, within 2 weeks we had the ability. To this day, I wonder who she talked to because it literally changed rapidly. People can make a difference.

  Yes we can!
  I am like her i make change everywhere i go.
  People are affraid of change, like this guy that commented just before you...
  But in truth this change is REALLY easy!
  I have seen old grumpy men complain how complicated it is to separate trash in canada when it first was implemented.. But now for them its the most natural thing!

  Honestly, his point about government regulation is understandable. I don't like large government myself but sometimes it's necessary. He'd know if he read Upton Sinclair.

  But to have a recycling program is not an obligation.. Its just a possibility for the better world.
  No one will put you to jail if you don't recycle..
  Its not a new law we want here... See the difference?
  But yes i aggree too much regulation kills freedom..
  What i want here is the freedom and possibility to recycle not a law to regulate you guys.. A recycling program.. Not a recycling law.. This is very different.

  Oh, yes. Recycling should be second nature as common-sense.

Are you nuts? It's not enough that my government is trying to rule every aspect of my life! I don't need private citizens trying to dictate my own personal behavior as well.

  You are aware that just because there is a recycling program doesn't mean that you have to participate in all aspects of it, right? But shouldn't you recycle not because other people are telling you to but because you have a moral responsibility to do what you can to try and protect the environment? It really doesn't take much effort, so I don't see how it would be so horrible even if you were forced to do it.

Agreed. And it is so easy. Me and my family just throw some things in a couple of blue boxes and put them out by the curb every 1-2 weeks. We also just got a garden/kitchen waste recycling program in our region which is great for the region as a whole, but really redundant for us since we live outside the city where lots are large enough for compost bins (and most people in my town have got them).
