52 Weeks to Make the World a Better Place: Week 37 - Take care when recycling I
OK, I've got well behind here, so I'll issue a 2-parter in rapid succession.
Most people, when they recycle, feel they've pretty well "done their bit" for the environment and leave it at that. But sometimes, that "bit", when not fully considered, can turn out to have an element of negative impact.
Read the blurb on the recycling bin carefully: are all paper-based products accepted, or does it ask for no staples or catalogues?; does it ask for tops to be removed from plastic bottles?; or perhaps metal bits to be removed from glass bottles?
Failure to comply or even notice may result in a great deal of extra work at "the other end" when all it takes is a little more effort from each individual. Wake up and do that extra "bit"!
