While my family and I lived there for three years, we had a small brown can and a small blue can for our waste and recycling. If we overfill it, we will be charged extra. Needless to say, we eventually learned to reduce our waste production simply because we didn't want to get paid for it. If Americans were introduced to this system, I'm sure we would all cry about it, but it works! Producers charge us 250 to 10,000 times the price of water from your municipal water source. If the water we use in our homes cost as much as the cheapest bottle of water, we would have a monthly water bill of about $9,000. Meanwhile, public water systems in many cities are inadequately built and maintained due to a lack of funding. Randy James, of Sumrall Recycling, says: “Plastic is the environment's worst enemy. It is an enemy of our oceans, lakes, rivers. Starting by eliminating plastic bags is also a great start." Some states have already banned plastic bags due to their harm to the earth, because they are made of non-recyclable plastic molecules. Although water bottles are not as toxically produced as plastic bags, governments spend millions of dollars to collect and dispose of our empty bottles
