I WAS disappointed to read the comments on recycling in the Shuttle/Times and News letters pages.

I am a 15-year-old, who is studying for GCSEs, and my parents, who both work full time, manage to find time to recycle.

I and the rest of my family have been recycling for as long as I can remember.

It takes less than half a minute to wash out a bottle or a can and put it in the box.

As for the bins over-flowing, the recycling has cut down our rubbish drastically, so I don't see the problem.

I, for one, would like to still have the natural resources, which we all take for granted, in the future.

In know for a fact that if we don't recycle now, in mine and your children's lifetime natural resources will run out.

The environment belongs to us all, therefore it is the responsibility of all of us to look after it.

I and everyone else I know have realised how important recycling is, so there is no excuse for the rest of Wyre Forest (and even the rest of the UK) to not realise it as well.
