Go Green

I recall in middle school we had a large "recycling rally", we were declared a recycling school. We were taught the "proper" way to recycle and the importance it would cause. In school, recycling programs were created and highly pushed. As of now, recycling is not something that you hear much of. From my younger days till now, its rare for me to hear about recycling, much less know people who recycle. I think recycling needs to be part of our work places and our neighborhoods. I think it should be expressed more in places and focused to adults. I do know some neighborhoods have recycling programs where like garbage trucks come, so do the recycling trucks. They have blue and green boxes you set on your curb. As mentioned, this is only offered in some neighborhoods. A lot of people won't go out of their way to separate plastic/paper & aluminum; much less to take it to a local place to drop it off.
