[quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand this. We're rather upper middle class with a $260,000 HHI. We have hardly any trash at all. Certainly never more than one bin a week, if that. We recycle all our bottle, plastic, aluminum, paper etc. We reuse as much as we can. I've noticed over the 15 years that I've lived in MoCo that most of my wealthiest friends (CFO's, VP's of this or that company) don't even bother to try to recycle. It all goes in the trash. Some of these families have 4 garbage cans full of trash 2x/week! I used to try to encourage them and even offered to help set up some systems for them but they just can't wrap their minds around it. It really isn't that complicated for God's sake! These are smart, well-educated, thoughtful, compassionate people for the most part. I consider them my friends but we definitely don't agree on reducing our collective impact.

So if you feel that you fall into this category please explain to me what the barriers are that keep you from recycling. Thanks[/quote]
