How can i convince my brothers to recycle?

Question

My brothers NEVER recycle, we have a very good recycling plan where i live. With waste going in one garbage and composte in the other. and paper and cans and what not. but i never see my brothers use it. For them it al goes into the waste. it bugs the c**p out f me because i take the time to recycle and they ruin it by putting a chip bag in the compost or a banna peel in the waste. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can lecture them on the importance of recycling/ sorting our garbage?

Thanks a million :D

also, i'm NOT a hippy, i just care for our enviroment.

Answer 1

You are assuming that they don't recycle because they don't understand the implications, importance, etc. But throwing things in the wrong bins, rather than just throwing everything into the waste bin says to me that they are very deliberate. They are not just not recycling. They are anti-recycling. They are young boys, and they should grow out of it. But I am sure that the more that you harass them, the more your items will be disorganized. This is just a sign of their immaturity.

Answer 2

what about trying to use reverse phsycology (cant spell sorry)

my son is the same, the more you tell them to stop it, the more they annoy the h**l out of you doing it!

once i tell himhe can do it, he refuses to...

i guess dont make a big deal of it and once you stopped bugging them about it, they will finally grow out of there adelescence years, and show some espect for everything around them, its a boy thing!
