As I am sitting here in my class for this unit, I can see a recycling bin the corner of the room for paper and labelled. Great… Makes me feel better that my University is taking part in recycling. However, what I find strange is the material in which the bin is made from. Yes, you may guess, its plastic, not very environmentally friendly! It doesn’t seemed to be used frequently and ironically the rubbish bin is placed right next to the recycling bin…and is overflowing with many recyclable products such as coke cans..
So maybe what I’ve said before doesn’t work. Placing recycling bins are not attracting anyone and it’s a habit which is hard to kill.
It disgusts me that the younger generation do not recycle! Your university has provided the facility for students to recycle their waste yet due to the laziness of you student who do not spare a second of your time to think about problems occuring right under your noses means WE the tax payers must pay for your ignorance.
Thank you for your kind comment Carol. I must however disagree with generalising and stereotyping “younger generation” and “students” to be lazy and ignorant.
Has it not occured to you that the reason for my blog is in fact BECAUSE I spare a thought and care about world problems such as recycling?
I shall however apologise on behalf of “ignorant students” for making you pay tax. (!)
carol i think you need to stop sterotyping and realise the fact that this student here has made this blog for a reason; because she cares!
well done shiba, excellent blog.
