HELP. What If I want to tell the council that there is no recycling at my work?

Question

It is a BIG shopping complex so it's not as if I could just put up a couple of bins for tin cans.

There are dozens of different stores and we all have skips or large bins outside, but no way of separating the papers and plastics etc so they can be recycled.

I want to let the council know this so they ac organize a recycling regime for everyone and in turn save a lot of waste which could be reused rather than be piled upon land fills.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Buy your own shopping center and worry about it when you are the boss abd can cost yourself money to recycle.

Answer 2

Schedule a meeting. You have to inform them of this issue. Recycling IS important; thanks for noticing that. Ask if you or anyone could maybe order recycling bins. Go to (http:// blackle.com) and enter the search term "buying recycling bins." Get other people involved. Research everything that's been going on with the Earth. Print it out, write it down, etc. Tell them who important this matter is. It is important, yes. Ask them, "Don't you want us to set a good image? Going green is the new thing. Do you know how respected we'd be if we were eco-friendly? This is really important. If we had just one sign that said 'Please recycle.' If we had a couple of bins for this shopping center. The Earth is at sake, and everyone needs to pitch in to help." Say things like that. Those are just ideas. You can go a long way from there. As I say: We are the tomorrow, and it starts today.

Answer 3

Just e-mail them or ring them up.  It is not rocket science.

Answer 4

omg that is terrible, it hurts me so bad that all those products CAN be reused but instead they are wasted and even destroy our environment :(

God i wish i could go there and separate them myself!

how about you get a big group of people instead!! and set a meeting, cuz the truth is, they wont read your letters or pay attention at them...

so the bigger the group the better... it can even become a small organization to do those things in different places that a change needs to be done

Answer 5

Well, you need an organized list of facts and reasons why it would benefit the company and the world. Begin with something like:

As we all know, this coorporation does not have any means of recycling many of the products it distributes. Many of my cooworkers pack their lunches in disposable containers and bring disposable items, such as plastic bottles and cans for eazy clean up.There is much debate over whether recycling is economically feasible. Advocates claim that the environmental benefits, energy savings, waste reduction and raw material conservation must be considered.....

etc.

you can add stastics in anywahere to prove your pont..

Answer 6

well it's really important to first spread the awareness to the people and then put different type of recycling bins for paper  and plastic,

as you are talking of the shopping complex i think loads of plastic must be used, so plastic trowing bins should be kept ,mostly as for the paper it is self decomposable no need to worry about that.
