If Recycling was as public as it is now, would we?

Question

Still have many of the enviromental problems we do now? I'm not sure if recycling was well known in the 60s or 70s, but if it was, what would be different now? What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

do you remember the famous BOY SCOUTS paper drives usually done twice a year we did lots of fund raising back then like that

back then never heard of plastic or pop cans only had glass deposit pop bottles

the best form of recycling is having a deposit on cans and bottles/containers if you can get instant money people will return it and if not the original purchaser then the people on the street who pick up these items for money(not necessarily homeless people )Me and my family will bike the back roads for exercise and pick sometimes 30.00 to 50.00 in a afternoon of deposit able bottles and cans

Answer 2

NO DIFFERENCE= TODAY THEIR OVER 60% MORE PEOPLE AND MORE LITERACY
