Let's use paper as an example.The first step is to raise public awareness about the recycling process,to explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled,and provide ways on how to properly dispose of them.Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those,like waxed paper,carbon paper,plastic material such as fast food wrappers,that can't be recycled very easily.Then,a system of collecting these sorted materials needs to be established.The public interest might be there,but soon may wane if there isn't a system where they can take these materials to be recycled.Sometimes we become complacent when it comes to recycling,but when you speak in terms of actual facts and figures that everyone can understand,people become more aware of the problem.I remember reading one time that the energy saved from one recycled aluminum can will provide enough power to operate a television for three hours.Give the public information they can grasp,and then you will increase your chances of gaining followers.
