Recycling Law
Recycling is a very good thing for our envorment, but shouldn't be a law. Recycling should be a choice. Whether you do it or not you shouldn't be punished. In my opinion, everyone should recycle but just like anything else it should be up to the person. If recycling was a law taxes would increase, would be very frustrating for taxpayers. Also you could be fined if you put anything in the wrong bins. No one wants to go through the hasle of another tax increase and law. If someone wants to recycle there should be a award, like now, if you turn in recycled cans you can get cash back. In the passage "No Recycling Laws for Gatesburg," say Americans already recycle at a high rate, which means really there doesnt need to be a law because either

    One reason everybody should recycle is animals are dying and starving. From garbage being everywhere. Acorrding to www.humanesocity.org they found birds poisined from lead weight. Also they found skunks with yogurt cups on their heads not being able to eat. Also pelicans had fishhooks in their stomachs. The worst that the have found was they found a raccoon with beer cans on its paws there was no fur, no skin, it's all flesh. Clearly almost everybody doesn't like to see animals suffer. That's why…

    Recycling has been a lingering political issue for years. Multiple federal recycling bills have been proposed, and none have come close to being voted into law. Environmentalists argue that the environment isn’t the only thing that benefits from recycling, but the economy benefits from it as well. If this is the case, how come these proposed bills haven't been voted into law?…

    In my oppinion, this initiative is a good idea to an extent. The city should not make this into a full blown law though. If people want to recycle then they will recycle. If not, well then they wont. I think it would be a good idea to make these separate bins available to citizens who would like to take part in the initiative. However, citizens who do not wish to participate should not not be forced to. They should not be bullied into doing something with the threat of being fined if they make a mistake or forget which bin there trash goes in. Let the people decide. Do not force this initiative upon…

    4.1 The benefits of recycling are beneficial for the environment. As a Council we impose recycling on residents so, therefore, we must set an example and also recycle our waste as much as is possible. It is beneficial to recycle and irresponsible not to do so as there is a finite supply of paper/wood/glass, etc and plastic does not biodegrade readily so unless we recycle these items we add to problems of supply, deforestation and waste disposal…

    Some even say that recycling is able to cancel a big percentage of the harm that we’re causing to our planet. Ok again, recycling is very important but it’s not really going to reduce green-house gas emissions which come mainly from energy use and transportation.…

    However, in a years time from the use of the bins, they would have paid for themselves. Having it already seperated makes it easier on the enviorment and the people, it will be able to be put to good use sooner, and more efficentley.The downside is the fines for violations on misplaced recycling items or falling to do so. If there was a way to work through this all would be well.…

    Why Recycling Is Wrong

    In the article, “Recycling Is Not Garbage” environmentally Defense fund scientist Richard A. Denison and economic analyst John F. Ruston rebut a series of myths that they say have been promoted by industrial opponents in an effort to undermine the environmentally valuable and successful recycling movement. One of them is that recycling is not necessary because landfilling trash is environmentally safe. But this statement is simply wrong. “In fact, 250 out of 1,204 toxic waste sites on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund National Priority List are former municipal solid waste landfills” (Denison 280). That means landfills are major sources of air and water pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions. Another myth is that recycling is not cost effective, and should pay for itself. As discussed in “Recycling Is Not Garbage” an analysis of nine years of detailed data collected by the Seattle Solid Waste Utility shows that, after a two year startup period, recycling services saved the city's solid waste management program $1.7 to $2.8 million per year (Denison 281). Thus, we do not expect landfills or incinerators to pay for themselves, nor should we expect this of recycling. No other form of waste disposal, or even waste collection, pays for itself. Waste management is simply a cost society must…

    One detail in the paragraph says "The goal is to reduce the amount of waste we add to the county landfill by 90% over the next five years." I think that is a great decision that the county is making, but the problem is, is everybody going to recycle their trash or are they just going to throw it away. Another detail states " The city will follow the example of Phoenix, Arizona, which has made…

    I didn’t recycle as a child, but when I moved to Germany while I was in the military, it was required that you recycled. The military gave us different colored recyclable bags, which helped in sorting cans, plastic and paper. A good example from Clay (2001) is “incentives like bottle deposits encourage people to recycle”. I think the influence of those rules turned me into an environmentalist. If you got caught not recycling or sorting your recyclables, there were consequences. I am not one for getting into trouble, so I was always sure I did it right. I feel so strongly about this because I have this picture in my mind of all this trash piling up around us and no clean air to breath.…

    There have been legislations put into place by some states, one example of this is the Waste Avoidance and Recourse Recovery Act. This Act is to make people abide by waste management options such as stopping unnecessary resource consumption and to reuse and recycle (Climate Change Authority 2014). The benefits of recycling are very notable, recycling reduces the use of resources, saves energy and reduces landfill sizes which improves the environment's health. For example, when one aluminium can get recycled, that saves enough energy to run a television for three hours (Clean Up Australia LTD 2009). Refuse, reuse and recycle is a stance most commonly known as it is easy to remember and easy to do. Refuse any packaging or bags that you don’t need, reuse anything possible and to recycle any materials that can be recycled (Clean Up Australia LTD 2009). Organisations have been created to encourage the conservation of Australia’s ecosystems. Clean Up Australia Day run by the organisation Clean Up is one of Australia’s largest community event geared towards saving the environment, and has been running for over 20 years (Clean Up Australia 2010). Many small steps have been taken by Australians and every little piece of recycling helps keep energy usage and rubbish production lower…
