Recycling's got extremely high compliance, if you believe the numerous
surveys that's been done over the years. That trend took 20-30 years to
reach current levels.

Precisely. 20-30 years just to get people to put one kind of garbage in
one receptacle and another type of garbage in a different one. I'm
thinking Americans never really had a love affair with their garbage or
how they disposed of it. But they damn sure have one with their cars.
Can you imagine how much more difficult it will be to effect change on car
buying habits than it was with how they handle their trash?


Some people had a love affair with working in the textile biz. That's
history. When's the last time you were able to find a dress shirt made in
this country? I don't mean a custom made shirt - I mean a pile of shirts, in
packages, in a store. Change is a bitch. Oh well.
