Personally, I toss everything in the garbage, it is just much easier that way. To recycle means I have to do two things: first, sort it out and second, take it to a recycling center. Not going to happen.
Now, if you want to recycle and "save the planet" then go right ahead. But don't try to shove your environmentalism down my throat.
I'm not shoving anything down anyones throat, just asking a simple question about other airlines policies. I'm sorry that having an extra can and seperating your waste seems like a frivilous exercise to you. I'm not mad at you, I just think you are uninformed. I think you are mad at me, or maybe just a little guilty for your laziness. I used to not care about any of this kind of stuff either, until some of my reading educated me about the current state and rate of decline of our environment.
And you are right, flying airplanes leaves a huge carbon footprint that isn't likely to go away anytime soon. But high fuel prices are forcing more full planes and less flights a day as well as more fuel efficient aircraft. I think, since we put so many carbons in the air we should try a little harder than most to at least control where our waste goes, as well as our carbon footprint outside of work.
