Our recycling station at Bear Springs Blossom Nature Preserve, Pipe Creek offers a full range of recycling We are often asked, why some countries ask their citizens to sort out recyclables and other countries like the US mostly use mixed recycling programs. The answer is quite easy: It is a question of convenience. When people sort their recyclables, they do the work and the city or county gets more money for the recycled material. When people throw everything in one box, someone else does the work and the city or county gets less money for the recycled material. Please guess: Who pays for the workers who do the sorting? Do you think your city or county officials pay for it? Or do you think YOU pay for it with higher taxes? - Ask you politicians why they didn't ask you, what you want! Ask them why people who like the convenience do not pay more than the people who sort out their materials? We got the following answer: It is our personal freedom to decide - that is the American way! Our question: Is it really personal freedom and the American way to let others pay for my convenience??? Please give us your thoughts - send us an email! |
