There are people that I have heard saying that climate change is not real, or that we can use technology to deal with the effects of climate change. Some individuals have opinions that can’t be changed, no matter how much evidence that they are shown.
I feel that there are other ways to explain to individuals not only benefit to the environment, but by doing things like reduce, reuse, and recycle can help them financially. Basic economics says that if price is low then there a large demand, if something is selling for a high price, then people are more willing to sell it and less willing to buy it.
Almost every time I need to throw something away, I think about it as throwing money away. I think that eventually stuff will get expensive enough that companies will actually be mining landfills because it will be cheaper to get materials from landfills, than to get the raw materials from nature.
By encouraging others to recycle or use materials we already have in the long run can be cost efficient and beneficial to the environment.
