How can I convince my partner to start recycling more?

Question

He reckons its a waste of time and I am at my wits end because it's really important to me.

Answer 1

Tell him it's for the benefit of your children and your children's children.

Tell him a real man would recycle!

Remind him that his way of life could be drastically worsened if he doesn't make a small effort.

Get some clearly labelled bins that make it easier for him.

Answer 2

He's the problem with the world today!!!

People who think it's not their responsibility to do their part are causing the planet to deteriorate!

I think it's time to name and shame.

Raise it in conversation when you're with your friends and family, make it a discussion topic and he'll realise that everybody's doing it.

Answer 3

Buy this book (widely available) and have him read it, starting with the hilarious preface, written by the husband of the author.  It's extremely relevant.
