The Ontario wine and liquor bottle recycle program. Why.?

Question

Did I miss something or does anyone else think this is a dumb idea. Up to now I threw my emply wine and liquor bottles in my blue box to be recycled. Now I have to drive across town to get my deposit back on the bottle and have someone else throw it in a blue box. While doing this I burn gas which contributes to air pollution and global warming. Where is the sense in that. If I choose to continue to throw the bottle in my blue box, someone else will take it out, drive across town to get the deposit and pollute the air. What idiot came up with this plan??

Answer 1

I heard on the radio when this idea first came out that the coloured glass was the issue... they had to toss all the glass cause the coloured glass was giving the recycle companies trouble ... so by driving to the depot to drop them off they can recycle them separately... and you could if it not too far.. walk!! Hope this clears up the question for you

Answer 2

So you mean 'bottling up of emotion'? (here - Love). You may mean it literally, but metaphorically, bottling up of emotion(s), lead to an ocean of emotion forming within, with huge waves, longing to connect and you can't just let it out as per your own wish. It comes out like a volcanic eruption whenever it wants to. It's like a coiled spring - the more you thrust it and force yourself on it, the moment you leave it, the higher it will bounce back. So, never bottle up emotion(s). What eventually will come out will not be love, but only misery. Love chooses you, and you don't choose love. Love is like falling in it before even realising, so perhaps, one can never ever 'decide' when to be loved and when not be since 'decision making' ventures nowhere near it. Therefore, bottling it up would only show your insecurity - as if you want to own it and want it to behave the way you want to. Further, we all possess love inside which manifests itself when the time is right & ripe. And then connect with the other. It just flows.. so when you can't possibly cage or bottle the love you possess within yourself, it's never wise, to put someone's love inside a bottle and then tag it as 'my love'. It's no longer yours. It's yours when you give it wings and just let it fly.. high!
