P: OK.  So, this week on Radio Talk, we’re talking about recycling.  We want to know: How much do you recycle?  And do you think it’s important?  The phone lines are open …. and our first caller this morning is Reg from Cambridgeshire.  Reg, you’re on Radio Talk.  Go ahead.  Reg?  Are you there?

R: Hello?  Can you hear me?

P: Yes, Reg, I can hear you and so can about half a million other people.  What did you want to say Reg?

R: Well, a lot of people talk about recycling these days and they say it’s good for the environment, but I’m not so sure.  Take where I live, for example.  There aren’t any recycling centres in my town.

P: Really, Reg?  But what about at your local supermarket?  Are there any recycling bins there?

R: OK, yes there are some recycling bins I admit and a lot of people take their rubbish there.  But listen to this.  A lorry comes every single week to take it all away.  I ask you!  How is that good for the environment?  Think about all the fuel it uses.  No, I’m not convinced.  And another thing…

P: Actually Reg, I’m going to stop you there because on line two I have another caller.  Line two?  Are you there?

S: Hello, yes, I’m here.

P: And what’s your name?

S: Sandra.

P: OK Sandra.  You are live on Radio Talk.

S: Well, I’m really angry with the man who was just on.

P: You mean Reg?

S: Yes.  He’s just like all the people who live round me.  They don’t recycle much stuff either.

P: What?  None of them?

S: Well, not many people on my street recycle.  I don’t know about other parts of the town.  Every week I see them.  They throw away a lot of bags.  I suppose some people recycle a little rubbish every week.  They don’t think they have time for recycling.

P: And do you ever say anything to them?

S: Yes, I do!  I tell them.  You only need a few minutes every day to separate your glass, plastic and paper.  And there are a lot of places where you can take recycling.  There’s no excuse at all.

P: That’s an interesting opinion Sandra and so what I want to do is bring back Reg who’s waiting on line one … Reg?

R: Hello?

P: Reg, I’d like you to reply to Sandra because she says it’s easy to recycle.  What do you say to that?

R: Well, she may be right but where I live you can’t …
