Both Ealing and Hounslow have very comprehensive recycling collections. With very little effort it is easy to dramatically reduce the amount of waste you make and put out to be collected by the Council.

There is no excuse for people so many years on to still be pretending that it is nothing to do with them.  We all end up paying more for it.  Government has been very quiet.

Why is it students and young people are so bad at recycling?

Here are the questions I asked a young person carrying out some research work on recycling a couple of years ago:

"Why don't students and young people recycle?

Is it because Mummy and Daddy did it for them at home? 
Is it because they are often/usually not Council Tax payers?
Is it because they don't care about the future - they are just living for today?
or
Is it because they just can't be ***ed?"

I'd love to know how her research got on. 

Eleanor Stewart - where are you?
