The range of the campaign for recycling in the US may be that huge but not all Americans are doing their share in recycling. This is according to a poll done by Harris Poll where they surveyed and interviewed some respondents. Here are some of the stats:
- 77% elder Americans recycle at home
- 23% do not recycle. At all.
- 30% of those aged 18 years to 30 do not recycle
- 19% of those aged 62 years and older do not recycle
- 67% recycle aluminum cans and metal cans
- 59% recycle paper and paper products
- 57% recycle plastic
- 54% recycle glass
And so we talk about those who recycle and what they recycle. But the survey was quite thorough for they also did ask those who did not join in the campaign why they DO NOT recycle. Here are some of their answers:
- 15% say such an activity is something you cannot find in their area
- 12% find it to be too burdensome and they have to spend much just to do it
- 11% simply do not believe in it
Now as a statistic, where can you include yourself?
