[QUOTE=Rob;197176]Here is a short list of recycling centres:

That's your short list, Rob? Pretty impressive! Took a lot of scrolling to get through the "short" list! This shows that the resources are out there.

This is like the worst posting EVER for me. I am an uber environment person and garbage makes me crazy! Here, abroad, in Jamaica! Just stop it! Do your thing for not leaving garbage and talk to people. You are so right, Rob! Educating the kids is important! I have seen people walk out of the mini-marts with 2 items in a big plastic "grocery" bag. They pull out their stuff, discard the packaging material (into the wind, like the Garbage Fairy will take care of it), and toss the bag. Really? You need that bag for what? 15 seconds and now it's part of the problem? I bring 2 or 3 reusable bags with me (I have to here at home anyway ...) and I have a huge beach bag ... so why do I need that plastic bag? Plastic grocery bags are 10 cents here in Montreal, and as of 01 Jan. 2018, they will be "illegal"! No more. Bring your own. I'm proud of my city for that move! I see so many people post "what they need to bring" and it's packages of plastic cups, plates, knives, forks, spoons, straws (OMG! Dont get me started!). Why? Do it boy/girl scout style. Bring 1 metal knife, fork, spoon. Wash and re-use. It's pretty easy and you will find other things you can do that with! It's not just Jamaica. It's the whole planet. We need to get it together and realize that this planet is not our toy. It's not just Jamaica. Do you bring your habits to Jamaica .... or your conveniences?
