Showerthought: My old neighborhood block party used to be a sea of plastic cups
Honestly, we tried using compostable ones last year and only about half ended up in the green bin, the rest got mixed in with trash. Has anyone else found a good way to get a whole group to actually sort stuff right?

It's a basic design problem. The system only works if it's easier to do the right thing. People will always take the path of least resistance.

My last apartment had a trash chute on the other side of the building. The recycling bin was right by the elevator. Guess which one was always overflowing.
