In looking back at the “cell phone” issue, I felt that the person researching the problem followed a logical sequence. She voiced concern about the video and made a decision to find out more information. She found, through YouTube, that the popcorn commercial could not be recreated. At that point she decided to find sites with information that would have a more credible background. Through this search she found a snopes report and a video produced by CNN. At this point she still had questions that she wanted to work out….and the search continues.
Through my own search I have found that implementing a curbside recycling program would encourage a higher level of recycling participation. Before beginning a program several items need to be given consideration, is there an attached fee to participants, what materials will be collected, will bins be made available, how will information be given about the program, etc.
Some citizens may balk at the idea of having to participate, would the program be voluntary or mandatory? Either way, what kind of information will encourage citizens to participate? Facts about waste lifespan, landfill capacity and pollution may help reiterate the need for recycling.
At this point I feel like I have a base level of understanding of what goes into preparing for a community recycling program, but I need to organize my thoughts and facts into a cohesive unit. Also, I know that recycling has enemies. Citizens who want the choice about what to do with their garbage, I struggle with this because of my own personal views.
