Quote:I don't deny "climate change" I question how much we can really do about and the motives politicians have. Personally I'm big into composting and recycling stuff like that but it's not something I could ever see working on a large scale forcing people to be responsible with waste.

 

You end up with things like the carbon tax, seattle's garbage police ect.....

This is how I feel about it.

 

Kind of like how you can't legislate morality, you can't legislate people to recycle or compost. Heck, could you see composting working in cities like LA, NY, Chicago, Baltimore? Or any city for that matter? There is no education or infrastructure for it. Most people wouldn't even know what to do. They think composting is throwing food into a pile in the yard. That would get nasty and unsanitary real quick.

 

Also, there are towns, like mine, who don't offer recycling services for those who live out of city limits and have no recycling center for those who would be willing to take it in. You can't not offer a service then tax or fine folks for not doing whatever it your taxing or fining them for.
