Why don't people recycle!!! It's not like it takes more energy to put the thing in the recycling bin!!! Sorry, didn't mean to get flustered.

I am doing my part.
If this big is the impact of recycling this much, I wonder how much would be the adverse impact of the stuff that doesn’t get recycled on the environment!

We recycle a lot!! The amount of our collected recyclables compared to taking cars off the road is staggering. I'm so much more informed. Thank you Recycle bank.
