Get behind recycling and make it easier

Why can’t we recycle plastic? How come I have to go all the way to the dump to recycle? Why might my taxes go up? What is the answer? REDUCE/REUSE/ RECYCLE

Recently a couple of my friends told me they don’t recycle because they don’t go to the dump. I was shocked. What an excuse. I told them to bring their recycles to my house. I already collect from other friends. Yesterday, I picked up one friend and took her and her recyclables to the dump with me. An educational and friendly visit. 

What else can I do? I went to the Solid Waste presentation to the Jefferson County commissioners. I knew the statistics. I knew the time was coming. The Boulder Monitor carried the story on the front page. Public meetings to review the statistics. Their solution: Raise taxes. I agree! I want their services.
