Name:

When I moved this summer, I discovered that my new apartment building did not ha
ve a recovery tank. When I contacted my landlord, he would not listen and though
t that recycling is unnecessary and a waste of time! I explained that every resi
dent in Quebec produced an average of 1.5 tonnes of waste per day! Still unimpre
ssed, I continued my argument, despite the fact that Mr. Belanger did not listen
at all. "Did you know that 85% of this waste is recoverable, one way or another
?" I added, raising his voice to attract the attention of my owner. I was comple
tely discouraged and I decided to do further research to educate my landlord. Do
you know someone in your environment that you would want to raise? I thought th
at creating an information pamphlet might be aware that people, like my landlord
, think recycling is unnecessary and a waste of time.
By cons, before beginning the creation of a form, we must learn about the subjec
