Plastic Bottle Recycling Rates Are Sad

The smart group of ninth graders that write the blog Reducing 4 More recently did a post about plastic bottles and were so kind as to include the following video in their post.

It's pretty dramatic so I wanted to post it as well. Note, though, that the video tries to make the point that we should all recycle. Yes, we should recycle, but I think the more important point is to use fewer bottles in the first place.

Anyways, here's the video:

Wow! That is a powerful video. It seems like our children are more aware of the importance of recycling than their parents. Many adults don't want to be bothered but when you see a video like that it is hard to deny the impact of our plastic bottle usage. Thank you for sharing.

That is such a powerful video. I started using reusable bottles I found on www.ireducebottles.com It has really saved me money and is such an easy way to help cut back on all the wasted plastic bottles.
