Perhaps Americans could take a few tips from their neighbours to the north who subscribe more closely to the European model. As a Canadian living in the United States, I am shocked and dismayed by how much waste is accumulated here. For Canucks, it is de rigueur to recycle bottles, cans, aluminum, xmas trees, computers, and paper. (Paper is the biggest waste product and the most cheaply recycled resource). Garbage is an out of sight, out of mind phenomenon here. Computer waste is a toxic problem which must be addressed sooner rather than later - but this it is merely shit icing on a gross and unseemly garbage pile cake. The answer is voting for Green parties, and ousting these environmentally unconscious clowns.
Yearning for a yankee-doodle-blue-box.
p.s. we get our deposits back for our beer bottles and cans too!
