No, I motivate myself to recycle as it%26#039;s something I enjoy doing.

not really. I can recycle all my daily trash but it pours through my letterbox, mounts up in my supermarket trolley in the form of unwanted and unwarrented packaging and it almost seems as if i have become part of a cycle someone else invented. Yet if i dont fulfill my part in this cycle i am castigated and made to feel guilty for not doing my part for the environment. Is there something wrong here?

We have our system here, but it is pathetic, there is so little that they will take.

No, Himself makes me and if I put a recyclable into regular rubbish he digs through %26amp; takes it out! He%26#039;s a two legged blood-hound, I swear he can sense when I%26#039;ve put recyclables in the wrong place. I cover %26#039;em up %26amp; Himself still will walk by the rubbish %26amp; suddenly start digging till he finds the recyclable I%26#039;ve hidden!

I grew up out in the country. I always felt connected to the out-of-doors. I was in elementary school when the had the first %26quot;earth day,%26quot; and it was impressive to me that we actually needed to have a day to think about what I thought about all the time.
My family was not especially religious, and I am not, but I attended church services sporadically, and Bible School every summer. I remember one year the %26quot;theme%26quot; for Bible School was being a good steward, and I connected to that passage in the Bible.
Society at large gave me the background to be willing to recycle. However, my best %26quot;motivation%26quot; comes from my two sons and the thought that one day I%26#039;ll be a grandmother. -
Motivation on recycling goods depends on ourselves, what ever the society do is not going to be effective if we do not cooperate.

Yes, in a few different ways.
In Michigan, we used to have terrible pollution in the Great Lakes when I was a kid. The lakes, rivers and streams were full of beer cans and broken bottles, and enough people got tired of it that we protested and got a 10 cent deposit on pop and beer cans and bottles. Now, if someone litters a can, there is someone there to pick it up, because if you get 10 tin cans, you get a buck!
As far as all the other types of voluntary recycling, the %26quot;green%26quot; movement, Earth Day, and all the different articles I have read about how much better it is for the earth have motivated me to recycle more, buy less packaging in the first place, and grow a large organic garden, which we make our own compost for. It is definitely because of societal shifts over the decades....the world is much neater (litter wise) than it was 25 years ago. Most everyone I know recycles at least paper, cardboard and laundry jugs.
Sort of an additional fact: My husband reminds me every time I go to pitch something we could reuse or recycle, by saying, %26quot;Don%26#039;t you care about Declan%26#039;s (my nephew) world?%26quot; That sticks in my head now. ` -
