Take for example recycling.  If everyone did it properly and consistently we would go a long way to reducing our need to produce new items (Case in point, the office where I work the landlord utterly refuses to recycle, even fines from the city have not, so far, changed his position)

I'm one of those bad apples... do I go down 10 stories and around back the building in the middle of winter to sort my recycling? or do I toss it down the magic chute and assume it gets sorted on the way down to the trash compactor?

I toss it down the magic chute.

I just haven't gotten into the habbit of rinsing out all my drink/food containers so I don't stink up my appartment... the chute is just too convenient to me.

And that's where recycling fails. It takes effort.. and many people are too lazy to make an effort. including me
