I am wondering, I am recycling more and more.
I see it as a way to help the planet and the people.
I carry with me tote bags like the one on the pic so I do not have to get plastic bags, they are more convenient to carry on the bus as well.
My favorite ones are from Walmart, they are black but have the same slogan.
So what do you think
Do people recycle more? Should they avoid plastic bags like I do?

I know I do for sure. I have all sorts of those bags from different stores and yes I use them. I don't forget them at home. After I use them they go right back in the car.
I am actually very short on plastic bags anymore because I use the reusable so much.

Ya same idea. I leave them by the front door until I go out to the car. Right by my purse so I remember. ;-)
Judging from the people we see at recycling centers, I'd say more people are recycling things.

Do not feel so bad about it, if you live in the USA the tote bags are one dollar each in supermarkets like Albertsons, Walmart, and each can fit two bags of groceries.
I know that much, and if you still can, the same stores have bins for used plastic bags.

Actually, people oversee the reason to recycle, here in my country mostly practice recyling because of its monetary rewards. There are recylcers who buy used bottles, papers and the likes and they really pay pretty well. So, I guess the motivation is mainly financial.
