<<We should
think about the
big picture>>
I think society has focused on solving the waste
problem, and we definitely need to solve that, but we
shouldn't lose sight of the real problem facing our
generation: climate change. Said differently, if all we do
is recycle more, does that mean we are doing less harm
to the environment?
More and more people are doing their part, choosing
fully recyclable materials, putting garbage in the right
place, and starting action in their communities, but I
think that we should also start questioning corporations
about everything that happens before and after we as
consumers make our choice. Fixing the amount of
carbon emissions generated to make the green glass
bottle my sparkling water comes in, and how much
more will be released when it's recycled, now that's big
picture stuff.
