Recycle! I gonna shoot you!

Saying this somehow makes me feel like I am the housewife figure of Kathleen Turner from John Waters' Serial Mom, who was on a rampage of killing anyone who would go against her domestic value and political correctness, from rewinding rental vedeos to recycling, but I am endorsing greatly in recycling and all other virtues as Turner embraced so I feel indignant when I see others not support this idea that is all worth organizing solidatiry for, regardless of colors or creeds. Please! Recycle! And to those who are store owners, you have to participate in this to promote the global agenda by buying the used bottles back.

I am writing this for that I discovered that another newly opened corner store that is just twenty steps away from my place doesn't buy back the used bottles. I was trying to support the store when it was opened given those men seemed to know way better than the previous store owner in the same quarter; there used to be this unfriendly, or precisely mean, Hispanic old witch lady apparently did not survive for her rather crude attitude in this community. Therefore I was quite pleased to see her store gone because basically I had boycotted the store during the whole time when it was around. And now we have this new store, which turned out to be another 'ethically unsound' one in terms of the community improvement and ultimately the eco practice.

If they are so low, it is their moral problem so it is just OK with me personally because all I will do is just forget about them and keep going somewhere farther so that I can have more sound approach to go eco-istic. But I still have to sigh, like is this a matter of education or class? Although there is some sort of gentrification that is exactly going on and being in progress for last five years in my area, still, the dominant population is those who are far backward in terms of the global eco and/or can't afford to think anything beyond mundane. They don't even care if bottles were thrown on the street! Imagine what kind of neighborhood where I live! It almost seems to be some sort of luxuary for them to think of anything more than the very basic and visible in day to day life. Or, am I being too much of the serial mom, just without kids?

You are right, I hate when people don't recycle, they pick up our cans and bottle every week. but I can't get my own family to recycle.

Some people do, though. They still recycle even their own
families, I guess.
