Quote:You might be able to convince the *governments* of China and India, although that's a tough task in and of itself. How on earth are you going to convince the *consumers* of China and India?You design the system to favor the result you desire. This is why the returnable glass bottle was a great idea. This is why community recycling is a great idea, especially when the recycling materials are actually recycled at a profit. There are ways to mold consumer behavior, and ways in which a government can help (other than dictate).
