So few people recycle. Even though there are plastic bottle receptacles, carton receptacle and a paper receptacle. I think I am the only person in my entire building that uses it. I believe people tend to be lazy and need some encouragement. So I decided to pin a paper on the bulletin board, reminding everyone of how we each as individuals are all responsible for contributing to the waste and pollution of our environemnt. I also decided to purchase some plastic bins in the garbage room labeled for plastic bottles, cardboard, etc and empty them myself. I would like to create a powerful flyer. Could someone out there help me come up with some powerful statistics. I.E. how many lbs of waste a year does an average Israeli throw out? How much plastic bottles, etc? thank you in advance for your help and suggestions I live in an apartment building as do most Israelis and I have noticed so much waste in our buildings dumpster.
