Recycling rewards

I was watching Fox News and they were discussing recycling rewards.  This was a subject that I was interested in.  I always thought that was a good idea.  We live in a society where people need to be rewarded.  People will do things for money.  An example is bringing back a soda bottle for a nickel.  People would pick up bottles they found just to get the money.  It works.  Years ago, peole had to put a deposit on milk bottles, to be sure that they were returned. Recycling rewards makes so much sense.  If companies give you something for your recycling effort then you will be more inclined to recycle.  It even works with shopping carts.  I went to a store the other day where it cost 25 cents to get a shopping cart.  I put my quarter in the slot and got my cart.  I brought back my cart to get my quarter instead of leaving it in the parking lot where it would dent another car.  It seems that having money is important.  Even if it is only a small amount, it makes us do the right thing.
