Do you feel guilty when you don't recycle?

I just started to feel bad one day when toughing out newspapers, do you?

Answers:
I've got the recycling 'bug' It started off when the council started collecting tins/newspapers from housholds. Now they even collect grass cuttings & garden waste. I can't stand the neighbours who put ALL their rubbish in a black bag & dont recycle. Lazy GITS!
yes! I would rather throw myself off a bridge than throw a piece of cardboard in the regular bin
I always recycle..
yea, actually i do.
yes we're killing the earth
Yeah, and I'm feeling pretty bad that I didn't do anything on Earth Day. Oh, I feel so sad now!
Yes. Because the resources we take from nature usually come at the expense of habitat that wildlife needs to survive.
The Recyclers just put it all in the common dump
I drink lots of water- and the bottles go right in the trash. Even with all the latest adds about recycling in my town (Fresno, CA) I still don't recycle--- I'm with you- I feel bad!!
i've been recycling for quite a while. We need to stop being ignorant and do our bit. recycling rocks!
Not at all.
I'm a recycler, but when I lived in a community for five years that didn't recycle..and you had to drive a long way to get to the closest place, I just HATED having to throw things away.

bleh!
At least we're in a recycling place again.
whew!
:)
No. If recycling were really so good, then recycling companies would pay me to recycle (so they can sell their re-habilitated raw materials). Since goods are plentiful, recycling is bad because it wastes time and money in order to maintain the recycling infrastructure. If recycling were worth that time and money, I'd always recycle because the recycling companies would pay me to.
recycle - the possibilities are ENDLESS
No, because I always do.
No, like the news paper I stopped buying long ago, because the media does not care about recycling, because if they did they would collect the old news papers. They want to put that responsibility on the consumer, because they bought the paper. With the net there is no use for so many papers. I say they sold the product, its up to them to clean the mess
Nope. Ample evidence exists to show that the resources required to recycle, often times are greater then the resources to produce something from scratch (paper i.e. "pulp" products being an exception). Landfill space is a real concern, but "recycled" material has to go somewhere, so space saved is hardly noticable. Incineration, with controlled emissions is probaly the best bet..Bottom line, recycle paper and cardboard, toss the rest.
yeah i do but it's a drop in the ocean when you consider the waste of the construction industry, the big carbon emitters like the us. the government use recycling like a panacea, but don't u notice the reclycle bins are outside the supermarkets?
Yes, but it's very time consuming!
no
only about paper.
i recycle most things but it does make you wonder when there are now two more trucks driving up my road each week to pick it all up! all those exhaust fumes, does the council feel guilty about that ?
