I needed this list. Thanks for putting it together – it’s incredibly important. I saw a man throw his entire McHappy meal out the car window the other day. I think we need stronger litter laws in conjunction with this.

Luckily, where we live, we put our recycling out with our trash, and it gets picked up every other week. Also, we don't have to separate anything, plus we can recycle many things, including all plastics #1-7, cardboard, glass, etc. Very, very convenient. One thing we do that really helps is we have a medium size plastic Rubbermaid container on the counter next to our fridge. We put soda cans and rinsed-out yogurt cups, glass jars, etc., all in there as soon as we are finished with them, and a few times a week I take that out to the recycling bin. This works much better for us than having to go out to the garage 10 times a day to deposit our recycling. Courtney’s last blog post..It all began with a knock

Another thing about recycling: like any habit you cultivate, it becomes second nature. So, if you don’t recycle now but can get yourself to start, in a few weeks you’ll be doing it without even thinking about it, especially if you follow the post’s tips for making it easier. : )

Thanks for the article on recycling! I love it when bloggers promote green activities.

One way I’ve found to make recycling easier is to buy less stuff. I try to think about the packaging on the purchases I do make and opt for less when possible — buying in bulk, etc.

I'm currently reading a book that is very pro green. The author acknowledges though that in order for everyone to get on board, it has to be automated and the user has to perceive no increased expense. The best example of this is the municipal recycling programs that pick up recyclables along with your trash. What we need are more programs like that. the weakonomist’s last blog post..Fair Tax: The Pros and Cons
