RE: The Plastic Bags Ban in Bocas del Toro!
great post. We are all about recycling. about 60% of our waste is recycled. We reuse all bags (paper or plastic) All organic waste is composted. There is no glass recycling in Roswell NM which amazes me. So we reuse the glass we can. I still have the conundrum of recycling all the pill bottles we use (as I stated in my previous post) I can only use so many of them for storage. I still think the pharmacies should make a way to reuse them. The bottles do have a recycling code on them but only a very limited amount of places recycle that particular type of plastic. Even with all that, we still throw out a garbage bag of trash every two to three days.

Correct, it will take time for humans to do the right thing, although I am worry about Planet Earth collapsing before that.
Is good to know about cities and other places where the people are more conscious.
Regarding glass, maybe it could be a good opportunity for a business, there are machines that can turn glass in sand, it could be mixed up with cement for construction and lower costs.

I believe the cost of recycling glass is getting really expensive... A lot of the so called glass for recycling here in Australia is sitting piled up in huge warehouses, we have too much of it, there's not enough of a need for it and the cost to do it is now not economical so it is now sitting in buildings collecting dust! : (
One of the local councils in Queensland last week just announced that they are getting rid of their recycling wheelie bins!!!! :O That all collected rubbish will end up in land fill now. People need to get a lot smarter... but first they need to care! A lot of people really don't care... it's a sad shame... it's not affecting them right now so they're not bothered. It's a big problem!
