Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

I just found the article that has all the elements that I like about waste management. Trouble is my degree is a Masters in Geography, this seems a little more anthropological. I hope I can make this work. You can even read this article from where ever you are for free! It's ten years old, but I think it really tackles issues that are still of great interest to bringing people to recycle more often and better.

There are really two elements to recycling (of many!) that stick out to me:

1. Participation and Program Involvement (Getting people to recycle)
2. Recycling properly 

The second point I strongly believe is often abolished to make way for public participation. 

The article I just linked you to raises a really good point and that's "recylcing, as a structured activity, is undertaken on a more frequent basis than waste reuse or reduction." Plain and simple, perhaps that's where we need to devote more of our effort!!!
