Okay so today at Rasmussen where I work, we have decided to get rid of our water cooler and start buying cases of bottled water. I started thinking about how much of a waste that is and so I started looking into recycling all the bottles. What a waste right?! So I found a place that accepts plastic bottles and told my boss that we could recycle there and his response was "are they gonna pay us? are they gonna pick up the plastic?" Oh my goodness!!! We have to get paid or at least do little or no work to do a good deed?! Gosh how silly!!! Oh and the good times don't stop there, other reactions I got when I said we should recycle and that everyone needs to participate were "Landfills accept plastic too ya know." or "Why do we need to recycle?" or "It won't matter in a hundred years so why bother?" And lots of other groans and moans about having to throw their bottles into a different bin then their trash cans at their desks!!! Holy Cow!! What is the world coming too? Arrgh!! I am gonna have fun "helping" people recycle their bottles. Anyways, I'm just a little frustrated at the lack of willingness in the matter of recycling. It's really not a hard thing. Sheesh...
