Question of the Week:
What motivates you to recycle?
This contest is part of Earth Week 2012 – attend our events for more chances to win prizes!

The way I was raised motivates me to recycle! I have been recycling all my life. My conscience would haunt me if I threw away something I could recycle.
trash is litter even if it gets taken to one location. Recycling is something new to learn.
Because I have a sense of stewardship of not just my own personal property but of the entire world. (I don’t really believe in personal property anyway but I go along with it because I live in THIS culture where people only take care of their own stuff and don’t care about anyone else’s)
Recyling is the best way to remove trash
It’s responsible, healthy and sustaining. I rememeber when I was a kid my dad would make me rinse out all the glass jars and soda cans before we recycled them. I thought it was weird to wash the garbage but he helped me understand that what we recycle isn’t garbage, but will be turned into new items and used again.
it was a small start but that chore helped me realize the importance of recycling and reducing waste.
I recycle to save and earn money.
I create accessorizes and lamps recycling and upcycling materials and then, Isell them.
