The Recycling Movement: Not Moving

by Bradley Voight on 09/28/12

In these modern times where technology and innovation rule the day, we still build mountains of garbage just like our stone age predecessors. Are you freaking kidding me? The green revolution just simply is not happening and we have 3 billion more folks on the way by 2050. That is nearly 50% more people taking the population to a staggering 10 billion that will generate enough waste to bury lots of valuable farm land. 


When the hell are we going to wake up from our cable TV soaked couches and do something about this? Large scale recycling programs are hard to implement and legislation to make recycling easier and more cost effective is not a priority. I direct your attention to this article http://www.kitco.com/reports/KitcoNews20120928DeC_interview.html 

Ivy league intellectuals are studying the recycling issue so it is of concern to more than just me and my website. The problem is that it is not of concern to the general wasteful public who think that someone else is handling the green movement. Could you use an extra $1000? That is what I have made recycling this year and I put a total of about 40 hours into the process. The green movement is not going to gain traction until a groundswell at the grass roots level is achieved and I am trying to lead that movement into the public consciousness. I'll start by saying in plain English that the green movement is not being handled by someone else, so educate yourself and do something about it. If you do not wish to recycle then put your things out on the curb for someone who will.
