I'm doing a lot of environmental-based stuff at work at the moment and realising how much crap I accumulate. What's more, ALL of it goes in the bin.
I recently went to visit a landfill (for work) and got a first hand feel (and smell) of what goes on at a landfill. People, it's not pretty, but it's not nearly as bad as it looks. BUT, the truth is, if we don't start making a concerted effort with regards to recycling, the planet is going to be f***ed.
Without sounding like a hippie, everyone should be popping stuff in recycling bins and at recycling depots. It doesn't really take thaaaat long to separate your waste, does it? I don't do it, but I should really try and get my act together....
I have been wanting to do it here but believe it or not there is no recycling facilities here! There is a separate island for all garbage aka garbage island where they burn everything! That can't be good!!
