Re: [greenyes] Maybe a good Idea

[Keith Ripley <vze3gxms@no.address>]

Many Brazilian municipalities now offer bags or food or mass transit 
tokens or fare cards in return for a bag of collected recyclables. 
Supposedly it has done wonders for cleaning up beaches, streets. Get the 
poor involved in cleaning things up, while trading them something quite 
useful to them for the collected recyclables.

While this may help solve the litter problem, it does not necessarily do 
much regarding waste if the collected material simply goes into 
overflowing trash bins or to the town dump.
