Answer 5

Lots of people still recycle, but most are so ticked off about being scammed with the "global warming" hoax that they're turned off on doing anything "green."

You can only con people so long before they get fed up.

Besides, most trash companies separate and recycle anything that can be recycled.

Answer 6

People us to follow others so that they look like a fool.

So, if the majority of the public don't recycle, the rest won't follow.

Is just like bubble tea, when Lot's of people said good, the shop become open every where. And, when someone start to reject it, everyone start to look for alternative.

If you said education them, I believe most of the people understand the global warming, but just lack of a stimulator to started it. It might take time, but possible.

Answer 7

Because people don't even care about global warming they are just lazy people who don't care about the world!!

Answer 8

because global warming is a scam

Answer 9

Recycling has no effect upon solar activity.  Solar activity is the driving force of climate change.  Therefore, recycling has no effect upon global warming.  Thanks for playing!

Answer 10

People....It's not the lack of recycling that's causing global warming. It's the major plants and refineries that's causing this problem. And pollution as well.  Stop thinking trash is doing it that is what the "MAN" wants us to think so that we will be blamed as individuals for destroying the earth.

Answer 11

That's because they don't care about this Earth at all. If they cared there wouldn't be any global warmin.

Now look where we are standin.

Answer 12

We recycle about a third of our garbage, but your nuts if you think it prevents global warming. If GW was even real, you now have a second garbage truck driving around your neighborhood (or more if your garbage is not provided by the city), you are wasting all that manpower and energy to separate and distribute and process your garbage.

Answer 13

it's not like me recycling my coke can is going to make up for the thousands of tons of industrial pollution one company creates

Answer 14

Some communities don't have the pick up and tubs.  If I didn't, I probably wouldn't either.

Answer 15

Uh, you do know that recycling plastics, bleached and dyed paper, and other products pollute and releases more harmful carcinogens and toxic waste into our air and streams (than non-recycled products), don't you?  And worst of all it releases CARBON DIOXIDE--nooooo!!!  This goes to show how ridiculous these criminals are for blaming climate changes on CO2--if that's the case, then "good-old" recycling should also be taxed, regulated, and discouraged!

Answer 16

Out of sight out of mind....I am willing to bet that most people who don't recycle have never seen a land fill. I think it would be a wonderful feild trip to start taking younger children to see the land fills...it would be a dirty, stinky sight that they may not enjoy but I bet it would sit in their young minds even when they grow older. Then in the class room you can teach them the recycling way! My experiance working with kids we have used things that you throw away and made art projects, musical instraments, and much much more!! Spread the word!! Share the "landfill" experiance....

Answer 17

feeble minded like me cannot remember.

Answer 18

diffusion of responsibility. because global warming is such a mammoth issue, lots of people are of the opinion that what they do doesn't matter because the impact of their own actions will be so small. also, there's the issue that people don't care because the more serious issues will not occur in their lifetime anyway. there's also some inherent laziness as it takes effort to do something about it.

Answer 19

we dont have the necessary things to recycle in.

ha, what a shame too.
