I have recently discovered that it is, in fact, NOT easy being green. Despite recycling being believed to protect the environment, it is an extremely difficult task! Imagine this… You are having a relaxing dinner with your friends, when you finish your bottle of Coke. Do you really want to walk out, just to recycle? Definitely NOT! Recycling is a waste of people’s personal time, the system for recycling is confusing and difficult to understand  and often, in public places, there isn't even a bin to put your rubbish in. Besides, will one person recycling really make that much of a difference?

Doesn't everyone know that recycling is a waste of people's personal time? Recycling is a waste of time because it prevents you from enjoying time with your friends. For example, you might have an empty bottle of Coke- you have to go all the way outside and chuck it in the bin. If it is too cold, you won't feel warm anymore and will have missed out on time with your friends. You won't have time to do your favourite things that you enjoy.

Only a fool would think that recycling is extremely easy. It's not! You may get confused with which bin to put your recycling items in. For example, if a young child is told to put rubbish in the recycling bin, they might put it in the regular waste bin. It is too difficult to recycle.

Evidently, there are NO public bins, everywhere I go! This is why it is not easy being green. When I go to the park, I see NO BINS AT ALL! Why would you stay at home in your kitchen sorting out all you rubbish anyway?

In the end, the benefits of recycling do not outweigh the disadvantages. Not only is recycling a waste of people's personal time but the system is also too confusing. Although people say to be green in public places, what can you do when there's no bin to put your rubbish in? If it is too difficult for ME to recycle, chances are it will be too tricky for YOU as well! Even if we do recycle, how is that going to assist with reducing the world's pollution problem? All that's happening is it's going to factories to be remade into more disgraceful, disgusting and unacceptable trash!
