Social Impacts?

Strike, strike, strike this is what we have seen and heard in the last few days. The next thing we have heard has been, garbage, garbage, garbage! The headlines we have been seeing recently has been all about how to keep the volume of waste down, how to recycle, how to compose. Out of all the issues that city workers may be discussing, the one thing that has kept people preoccupied the most, is what to do with the garbage?
The one thing that comes up to mind is how could we make the people and media concerned enough about GVRD's landfill issue, that this worrying could become part of our social behavior. We automatically would become more cautious about recycling, or we all build our back yard composts or create our small worm compost in our balcony. Maybe a company with a creative marketing design would find a way to build a shopping bag that would be like the Nalgene of those who used to buy packs of bottles of water. We need a cool shopping bag! Our society needs things that are "cool" and stylish to make the habit of using it, positive.
