well, my suggestion would be to inform and educate them maybe thru films or articles, try “the story of stuff” by annie leonard a 20mins. film. try to convince them that recycling helps and reduces the problem of garbage.
Give your answer to this question below!
First I would make everyone watch the movie “Wally”
It has such a great hidden story line behind it that the trailers didn’t show about what will happen if we continue to live producing waste at the rate we are right now. I believe, “Why not save the plant? it isn’t going to hurt to try, it can only be beneficial and worth a shot of saving it.
Best to at least say that we tried
As a nation we have agreed upon the capitalist system of government. I think the same system is also best for recycling. You only achieve a low level of participation when you motivate people that they are good when they recycle. But when you charge people for their soda bottle and you give cash when they recycle, you get much higher level of participation. You also get many people to make that their business so they pick up some of the slack for the real deadheads.
I favor raising recycling charges and refunds to the level that achieves a 90% recycling rate. If that means you pay a $5.00 recycling fee on a $1.00 bottle of pop, so be it. People need to either recycle or stop using. When I go to the dump and see all the recyclable materials being thrown away, I am ready for some real drastic action.
The best solution is to reduce waste. One time reuse would cut waste in half, Currently one of the repercussions is whether recycling is either energy or materials efficient. Look at Post consumer recycling in the paper industry. The last time I looked the more recycled material the higher the price
