Re: [GreenYes] Why people recycle in 2001.

["Angela BRANTLEY" <BRANTLEY@ci.monterey.ca.us>]

I disagree with the statement below.  Recycling has become a habit with many people.  It isn't a BIG deal anymore but the consciousness and education level has increased.  People in our community WANT to recycle.  The key is consistent collection (types of containers and fiber collected at the curb).  They're too busy to try and figure it all out.  I will say that teaching the key element...reducing what they generate in the first place... is the most important aspect to their new learning environment.   We'll keep plugging along.

....  It is time to recognize that in 2001 a whole lot of people "could care less."
