Abstract

You and your fellow U.S. citizens "produced 4.4 pounds of waste per day during 2000. This is the equivalent of over 1600 pounds of trash per year per person or more than 220 tons of waste being generated each year."1 Although recycling has been increasingly integrated into many communities, the overall recycling rate in recent years has only been growing a meager 1-2% per year nationwide.1 This slow growth rate indicates that even those people who have the access and ability to recycle are still not making the extra effort to do it. 80% of those who actually do recycle are only doing so occasionally.1 why do we throw away and not recycle? If resources and technology for the process are increasing, why aren't growth rates following suit?
