I'm really very impressed... Ever since the Islington council launched their recycling bags scheme a few months ago in my area, people really have been making an effort to sort out their rubbish. And it's amazing how much you can actually recycle. It leads you to think how much of a difference little individual efforts can make in the greater scheme of things. Every week, I see lovely green recycling bags, full of empty bottles, magazines, cans etc. left outside for collection.
Human beings are naturally lazy but they're not evil. We all care for our planet, and if we're given the opportunity to do our bit, most of us will. You can't expect old, busy, or just lazy people to seperate their rubbish and then take it to a recycle area miles away (and I haven't seen many in central London). Give them the bag and they'll do it. Put them in this green mindset and then you may very well see more changes. It takes time...
