Very sad to see. We should all be doing our part. Sadly many areas don't even have a recycling program or require payment for participation.

- jniedrauer 7y agoRecycling has a negligible impact on this problem. The big areas that could actually make a difference are: Power generation, mass transit, and food production. But we don't seem to have the political will to fix any of these areas. Pushing ineffective solutions that require effort from consumers is an unfortunately effective trick to keep people distracted.
- hkeide 7y agoI think recycling is overrated. Even with very high compliance it wouldn't make a dent in carbon emissions. Transport, heating/cooling and farming constitute the majority of carbon emissions. At worst I think recycling is a costly distraction from more important measures.
