it's also kind of fun. Here we must pay 10 cents in the store whenever we buy plastic bottles and technically we can get that back if we drive to a recycling center but most do not. We also must pay to have a recycle bin so we are actually double taxed on the use of plastic so If I have the option to give it to someone who will make the trip to the recycling center and get the money for themelves I feel better about it and feel like I'm only taxed once lol. I don't like being taken advantage of by government.
