The people of Britain are capable of recycling however, having it shoved down our throats and being told if we don't cooperate we get fined is extremely harsh |
I find that by and large the people of Britain are lazy, we don't do something if it inconveniences us for ten seconds.
Funnily enough, my Dad wanted to throw an old broken Playstation out today, just in the bin. I said he should take it to the tip to be recycled, and he basically replied with "Why bother?"... At which point I started citing to him how much resources go into computers and why we shouldn't just throw electronics away. (Did you know that Gold is 17 times more concentrated in electronic waste than it is in mined ore?)
The point is, he wanted to just throw it away because it would save him ten minutes of his time, even though the facility for recycling exists.
I can imagine a lot of people I know not bothering to recycle.

See if i was your father... I would of said "So you do it."

That's pretty much what he said.
