Iwas reading a new survey this morning for Earth Day that found 62% of us are worried we’re not recycling right, because we don’t know what can and can’t be recycled.
Here are two of the most common things we get wrong . . .68% of us think used plastic utensils can be recycled. And technically, they can.
But it costs too much. So most recycling plants won’t do it.
And 53% of us think greasy pizza boxes should go in the recycling bin. But they can’t be recycled either.
Also I found this rather interesting – 82% of Canadians want to be more environmentally friendly. But only 31% of people said they always recycle.
And finally….. our top five excuses for not recycling are: “It’s not convenient enough” . . . “I don’t have space for the extra bin” . . . “I don’t have time to separate my recycling” . . . “I don’t have enough information about how to do it” . . . and, “I’m too lazy.”
And there you have it an honest answer at the end…. And lets be honest… there’s no excuse….
Listen… we all have to live on this rock … Lets do our part and keep it clean!
