It's unreasonable to expect that promoting recycling alone leads to systematic recycling of non-precious materials. Recycling is the law in places where it is considered commonplace.

Swedes don't just love recycling; the government makes it worthwhile by increasing the cost of not-recycling (fines, jail time).

This is taking the stance that the governement is the source of society, while I tend to think the governement is the consequence of society.

But it probably goes both way, and I don't see a good reason to not do both: acting as micro and macro citizen.
