Why Should I Recycle?

I’ve heard a ton of reasons to recycle, but I’m still not convinced. Why do YOU think I should recycle?

Tell Ronald why he should recycle:

 

What other people have said

You should recycle with a private recycling company to boost local economic growth and support small local businesses that will in turn support the community through jobs and spending.

Ronald, in a few years we will have our "re-education camps" up and running, and webcams in your apartment. In the meantime, we'll just have to guilt you into compliance.

Your a young good looking man go get drink and then recycle the cups! It's not that hard to throw something in a blue or green bin instead of a grey bin. Come on dude. What harm can it do?
Obama, Kansas City

You should recycle because if you don't the world could explode or rot. And if you don't recycle your going to kill, not just yourself but, the whole world to. So can I ask what have I ever done to you? Every time you drop a piece of garbage in nature you take away a life. Tell Ronald why he should recycle. Tell Annie why she shouldn't recycle.
Annie MacDonald, Mississauga

Shame to see all of the defenses of recycling on here without any actual respect for the data. Show me someone who unabashedly supports recycling after seeing the data, and I'll show you a liar.
Ivan, Rochester

Recycling may not be as easy as throwing an item into the trash but it helps everyone and the world. Think about how styrofoam will never decompose and how this stuff (along with all our other trash) ends up in the ocean and space consuming landfills. Recycling doesn't cost as much as you might think. The reason prices are high is because not enough people do it and the companies aren't getting enough material to make it worth the effort. You should encourage others to recycle to save our resources and to save money. =D
Zoe, Kansas City

Our local Post office doesn't recycle. They just throw all that fresh junkmail from the PO Boxes right into the landfill! How stupid is that?!

You should recycle because if you don't you will be stereotyped and demeaned as a mean, uncaring, selfish, redneck, idiot, republican, earth destroyer (who hates babies). You will also get a false sense of importance and pride. Don't let anyone (especially the government) make you feel guilty so you'll do what they want.

STOP WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS ON THIS SCAM
joe, quincy

Because you'll spend less on trash bags. . . when I started recycling I went from throwing out a bag of trash every week, to one every month! :)

no, no, you know better than that Ron. Recycle. It's easy, it's fun, makes you feel all warm inside. you're doing something for your kids and the environment.
Eenah, Kennesaw

You don't need to be convinced. It's not going to hurt anyone for you to recycle. So try it and then learn about the benefits as you do it. You're wasting too many materials that could be getting recycled waiting to be convinced.
Nicole, Orlando

Why not use the bin for what its designed for??? It may make you feel better. I'm guessing you still pour used oil in the ground!!
larry, maryland

Just a drop in the ocean, huh? I challenge you to recycle everything you can for one week. You'll see what a difference one person can make in no time. And what if everyone thought like that? The oceans would one day BE the landfills because we will have run out of space to put the garbage.
Julie, Stockbridge, GA

Um yeah, if anyone can clue me in on this: if recycling is so important, then why does Waste Mgmt only give you a crummy little bin? It fills up in no time. I'm sure they chuck it in with the rest of the garbage. At least, that's my hunch. Another HOAX to keep us down.
DUKE, 'THE ATL'

Because you live in SAVANNAH home to one of the Greatest Art schools!!!
The Friend Nobody Likes, Pike Ga

If you don't, then will put the next landfill needed right next to your house or apartment!
Dave, West Point, GA

Ronald you should recycle your drop in the bucket alone with other single black men adds up to allot. It's the right thing to do.
Wesley, Atlanta

You can save money. Programs like Recyclebank are catching on in various places, maybe it will come to your town soon. Meanwhile, if you separate your recycling from the garbage you will find you have much less trash to take out each week. I'm down to a bag a week in my household of 3... More time to keep those feet propped up on a coffee table. (I recommend reusing old secondhand milk crates for end tables and book shelves.)
Dave, Columbus

You're fine man. Recycling is just a lame attempt to bring us "back to nature." Besides, you're already recycling, if you use your bin for a table--the bin was old and not used, so you recycled it and turned it into a coffee table. Problem solved!
Sam, Acworth

Ronald, I think you'll get it once you've been provided the correct information. Being that you use your recycling bin as a coffee table indicates you have limited resources, so you should appreciate the fact that recycling saves (in real terms) resources. Be proactive, not reactive. Every one's little bit helps.
Mike, Savannah, GA

cause you're not cool if you don't recycle!
Kelly, Smyrna

Not recycling only emphisizes your lazyness and ignorance.
Chuck Hester, Temple, GA

because every "drop in the ocean" as you say adds up. Recycling does have a positive impact. Imagine that impact if we're all doing it! Now go get that bin Ronald!
