Nudging Recycling From Less Waste to None by Leslie Kaufman October 19, 2009

This article speaks about the importance of recycling on a global scale. The main focus of this article is that we need to create a global movement in order for the idea of recycling to be effective. Now there is technology where the foam cups are made with a compound that literally can just be heated to melt it, and then reused. We see a few major leaders in the race to recycle, however of majority of people do not care about where they throw their garbage. Everyone continuously dumps stuff into the trash but no one wants a landfill near their house or in their community. We have to think logically and create a global movement. How would you feel if every time you threw something away it ended up in a landfill behind your house? We ultimately have to be educated and rewired.The question should never be: “ Should I recycle?” but instead: “How can I recycle?”
