What moves someone to recycle? Is it education, social awareness, or passion to conserve energy? Or a desire to fit in?

A recent study on 525 students and 154 housewives showed that housewives are more likely to recycle than students! How can it be that our generation, taught in school about global warming and the greenhouse effect, is less likely to separate glass from garbage than those who got us in this mess in the first place with their gas-guzzling cars and hairspray?!?! The study showed that environmental awareness does not always result in ecologically responsible behavior. One thing we can say for the real O.C. housewives–whatever your age, recycling is hot.
