      Hi Geoff! I certainly do!
      I recycle at home and we have a government target within the Ministry of Defence to increase our recycling by 40% by 2010. New recycling targets are coming out soon for all government departments for 2020. Part of my job is to encourage our land sites to increase how much waste we recycle.

      I hope you recycle at home and your school does too as it is very important that we try and divert as much waste as we can from landfill. 🙂

      Hi geoff,

      Yes – mainly paper and plastic and stuff. It’s getting easier to recycle stuff where I live in America, but I don’t think it’s as easy yet as it is in parts of the UK.

      Yes. Though I don’t enjoy it if I’m honest. I’m sure there are some folk who sing and skip as they sort their rubbish and remember which days what goes out to be collected. I mump and moan but I get the job done. I do think it’s important but it doesn’t make life easier.

      How would you make recycling easier for lazy oafs like me?

      Yes, geoff, we do.
      At home (my parents’ house) most stuff gets recycled.
      Here in my flat in London, we do most of the paper and card, some tins, plastic, cans – but not everything. It’s a bit more inconvenient here.
      It annoys me actually, councils should make it as easy as possible to recycle, then perhaps the UK would stop being one of the worst places for producing rubbish!

      Yes I do beacuse I think that it is important to do so as we don’t have endless supplies of natural resources.
