I've never been anything close to what might be considered a 'Tree Hugger' or fanatical environmentalist, but I have become a semi fanatic when it comes to recycling at home. It's pretty simple to do and I figure it's the least I can do to help out Mother Earth in the long run. I saw a t-shirt once that said ..... 'There is no Earth B". I think that struck a chord.

I'm with you on the recycling. I have the 'large' recycle bin provided by the city, which is collected every two weeks. 9 times out of 10, that puppy is filled to the brim and I generate FAR more recycled materials than I do trash. The trash is collected every week and some of the time I don't have enough to even bother putting it out .... and I have the small sized bin.

I appreciate the overall message of the meme about recycling. The part I find objectionable is the inclusion of people .... Recycle people when they break? Uh, I think I'll pass on that thought.

There are far too many 'users' in this world and that's a sad commentary on a person.

I'm with you 110%. Use someone until they break and then recycle them .... Not happening. The blogs are filled with enough heartache and tales of deceit, etc. Unfortunately, people are always gonna be people and that means flawed relationships will always be around. Recycle people? Just the thought turns my stomach.

Correction ..... The T-shirt read: 'There is no planet B'.

That makes more sense.

Yes sir, that strikes a chord.

This rock lasts or we don't, plain and simple.

I think more and more people are coming to realize that. It's not something that takes a lot of effort, just some caring and consideration. I think there should be more Public Service Announcements about recycling, litter, etc. on TV.

I remember an advertisement that used to be on TV many moons ago - you probably do too. It was an American Indian looking around and seeing the Earth being polluted. A tear formed in his eye.

True that, no planet B, though sometimes it seems until we destroy and dismentle it, we wont settle... hopefully not.
Sadly, there are people who will use others like paper bags. Once broken, thown away, replaced.
Once we 'recycle' ourselves, as we may say, they will return to try to reuse us.
Always in need for a new supply of 'paper bags' 😉

Mother Earth has miraculous powers to heal itself despite what man might throw at it. Even so, taking care of her should be a priority for everyone. I have little doubt you do your part.

The thought of people being disposable and/or recyclable doesn't even register with me .... Though I know there are those that utilize both practices. It's unfortunate, yet life always eventually goes on.

It is funny to walk past recycle bins in my neighborhood......this one likes vodka, this one has a thing for Heineken, this one keeps Bud Light in business.....so many interesting people

I wish our recycling included glass bottles .... Here they go in the trash. Ugh! The same for plastic water bottles - trash. WTF?!?!

We have garbage/recycle/compost bins with lids and wheels on them, so you don't really see what people eat, drink, etc.

A tear dripped from one eye.

YES, a classic. You could say that struck a chord as well.

So you do remember ....

Might be time to bring it back. I don't see a 'down side'.
