Do you want or insist that I recycle?

We need to be responsible enough for our surroundings that we shouldn't need to be told what to do. We need to realize that our current waste land filling method is going to threaten our water supplies and compete with precious farm lands we need to grow food. We need to understand that the resources we take from the ground are finite and difficult to acquire. We need to comprehend how much of our precious water and energy is used to process and refine the raw materials to produce the goods we use. The costs of not recycling are far higher.
