17. Finally, nearly everyone who took our survey said they knew they should be recycling, and also told us that they spent about 1-3 hours recycling each week. This suggests that young people in New England, for the most part, are aware of the negative impact of not recycling, and are willing to devout an hour or two of their time each week to do small things like throwing water bottles into the right bins while on campus, trading clothes that no longer fit, or sorting out glass and plastic on garbage day.
