I've heard that too. I recycle scrupulously, but sometimes when I go to throw away the trash in the neighbourhood bin enclosure, I see that somebody had put mixed in the paper container, or paper in the plastic container etc. Plus I've seen the garbage collectors putting waste from all the containers together...
I work in a coffee shop, and we have some plastic products (for example lids for takeaway coffee cups or plastic cups for frappuccinos). It's scary how often people ask for additional lids/spoons etc and throw them away immediately after use. I've never seen anyone bring their own takeaway mug. I guess it's a sign of unawareness how much these small acts mean for our environment. I wish more people took it seriously.
