Hello all,
Our bat group is interested in recycling to reduce the carbon footprint. We have examined the reasons for less recycling and tried to find solutions for them. First of all, we thought about why we could not reduce the use of plastic bags to 0 and we came to this conclusion. It is more difficult for people to carry bags than to buy plastic bags. If left as this option, people will say that they continue to buy bags. So we discussed whether this option could be a solution if you don’t sell the product to those who don’t bring your own bag. We are not sure about this, what are your ideas?
the second point, why is the use of recycling bins at not the desired rate and not correct? We believe that the number of recycling bins is insufficient and that their locations are wrong. Their number should be increased and they should be closer to settlement. In this way, it will be easier to reach people.
Have you ever thought about why pet bottle use so much? Because in our opinion the taste of the fountain waters is not good. If the fountain water is brought to a drinkable level, people can carry their water with the glass bottles and pour water from the fountain. So no one needs a vending machine to drink water.
We know they won’t solve the problem but even if it contributes to the reduction, it would be a good start for us.
Hope to see you as soon as possible
