I’m no tree hugger but my daughter an I are the only ones in our family, my side and wife’s side, that recycles. I try to tell people that anything they do, big or little, to keep plastics and any others items that can be recycled out of the landfill will help create a better way of life for their kids and grandkids. But noooo they say they either “don’t have time to do it”, “it stinks and it’s nasty” or “it’s the trash people’s and governments job” to worry about it. But they, people I know, will be the first ones to cry, complain & want somebody’s head, when the earth is to far gone to do anything to help it.
Here in Germany you actually pay more if you don't. You get yellow sacks for free to recycle all of your plastic waste. For blue sacks meant for paper you pay just 2€. But for you're regular black trashbag you pay around 5€. Also on any can or plastic bottle there is pfand which means if you take them back to the store you get 25cents per bottle or can back
