Going green by guilt
According to a survey by leading insurance company Norwich Union, many people in the UK are going green not because they believe in being eco friendly but out of guilt. This is a similar thing to keeping up with the Jones, in fact the figure is put at 68% of the people in UK are recycling out of guilt.
But at the same time around 56% of UK people feel that living an unethical life is a real taboo, in fact maybe even as bad as drinking and driving.
In the UK there is a push to force people to go green, this may be through only collecting the trash once a fortnight or charging for each pick up, however this may cause a rise in illegal dumping, which is only going to cause even more problems down the line.
The simple fact with trash is that it needs to be cleared, limiting people to small pick ups is no good, when the supermarkets are creating a huge amount of plastic and paper, maybe they should start there, reduce the trash at source and therefore reduce the trash in the home.
