Default Brainwashed to Recycle ?

Do you recycle ?

Okay. For the last year or so now my family have been recycling tins, bottles and paper, but now i feel guilty, thats right GUILTY if i put something in the bin that i should have recycled. Do you think the government has brainwashed us to recycle ? and do you do it ?

I recycle the same as you do.

I have a green wheely bin for garden stuff and cardboard.

I have a blue wheely bin for paper

I have a bottle box for bottles and cans which I wash out so it doesn't end up stinking too bad

Then I have a wheely bin for non-recyclable rubbush.

You are probably right about what the government is doing to us as a nation. Naturally scaring us plenty with all this talk about global warming and greenhouse gases

We do pretty much the same and with the main rubbish as well. We've got a recycling bin but we hardly ever use it.

I think people have been brainwashed into recycling but it is the only way
i don't recycle and never will because I don't care for the environment and the future of the planet
Bad attitude? Probably yes but I have better things to do or think about then recycle. People annoy me who care too much for the planet and future generations, you have a short life live it, enjoy it because you wont have another one.

Agree pretty much 100%

I don't think its as bad as they're making out, and inevitably its going to happen anyway so IMO in a way its good to find alternatives and just let nature take its course.

I don't feel guilty if I don't recycle something cos I recycle what I can,but if its raining I'm not gonna go outside just to put something in the recycle bin! Its better to reduce and reuse anyways.

I wouldnt say brainwashed to some extent. The counsil sent out recyle bins. We do recycle more than we used to, which i think is a good thing. I like to think we're doing something good.

Isn't recycling good? It helps the environment. I don't know about brainwashed but we are definitely conditioned to recycle though personally I don't see why that's such a horrible thing.

I am not affected by it since I do not recycle, it's all crap for me. Some people are paid for it, we pay enough taxes to make them doing the job so I can't see why I should be bothered.

You do know, what you put in the wrong bin, is sorted into the right category at the end of the day?

Exactly, it's a waste of time to do so and I feel pity for those who try to make people feel like **** and guilty if they don't.

I find bottle banks hilarious where people think they're going to go to prison or something because they've put a brown bottle in with the green ones, but they don't realise that glass bottles get smashed up and re-dyed anyway.

And I currently have 8 plastic water bottles in the bin with no intention of recycling any. The world is hardly going to stop is it?
