As you well know, the Dallas council recently passed a law including the removal of Dallas recycling bins, unless you constucted a estimated 2,000$ fence around each bin. The council claims that the green and yellow recycling bins are eyesores, and take away from the beauty of Dallas streets. Also, many citizens and members of council complain that the profit-based company AbitibiWater that picks up our paper and plastic is not emptying the bins often enough and that the bins are overflowing and dirty. I have never personally viewed this in my school's bin, so I can't say that it isn't a problem, but the people need to realize that this company does not have a huge cash flow, and it isn't possible for them to come around more often.
Back to the ammendment:
I think, and so do my fellow students at Akiba that it is not the beauty or lack of beauty that matters in the bin, it is what it represents. It shows that we care about our enviroment, that we do at least our small part in keeping the earth clean, and the Dallas council members need to see this.
This planet's future is our future, and we should keep it green.

Also, about Abitibi not having a huge cash flow, I meant that I don't think they have a sponsor, they run from the money they get from the public and the profit they get from picking up people's recycling.
Because don't get me wrong, they are a huge company in the US and can help us.
