If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.
Reply ReplyI do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything
Reply ReplyI do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.
Reply ReplyWe pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.
Reply ReplyI like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.
Reply ReplyAlthough I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.
We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.
Reply ReplyOur duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!
Reply ReplyIt's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).
Reply ReplyI do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live
Reply ReplyMy local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.
Reply ReplyI already do. Since the state passed a law a while back for come counties I have been. They also did it again for the whole state during 2020 because of COVID and that ruling was never repealed. Allot of people don't know that but the gas stations do so they don't care if I do.
Reply ReplyIt is easy! I would be faster than the slow, overworked guy who spills gas on my car.
Reply ReplyYes definitely, I prefer to, I always help the attendant and take the nozzle out myself so they do not spill any gas on my rigs!
Reply ReplyI've pumped my own gas all my life until I moved here in 2018. Waiting in line for someone to do something I'm capable of doing is inefficient. As long as it doesn't cost job loss, I'd rather do it myself.
Reply ReplyThat's the trouble. I'm too afraid to lose my job. I've made more money at other places, but this is the only company I've found willing to work with me on my schedule for my career training.
Absolutely!. It would get done in a more efficient way and more carefully because I care about my own rig and don't want the gas dripping on the paint.
Reply ReplyGasoline won't affect your paint job. I've used it to clean off tree sap, works great.
Absolutely!! I have lived in other states for 65 years and always had to pump my own gas and I prefer it because it speeds things up. It makes for a much slower process having to wait for attendants to finish with 1 - 2 cars ahead of you when you could be doing it yourself!! Good to have the choice!
Reply ReplyI doubt very much you would get through the line any quicker. If the attendants are that slow find another station. Maybe you should have stayed in the other state.
And, contrary to what many on the other side are saying, they are NOT taking away attendants for those who don't want to pump their own gas... just providing a choice to do it yourself for those of us who want to.
In Culver we usually do since we have 1 gas station and they only have 1 person working the store.
Reply ReplyI'm an attendant. I doubt I'd lose my job if self-serve was law, but I don't want to roll that dice. I have the resume to work for higher-paying companies-I have before-but this company is the only one I've found willing to give me the time off I need for my non-college training for my dream career.
Reply ReplyI work on cars 5 days a week so sometimes i don't like to smell like gas. I got my start pumping gas. Also, after working all day, i don't always have the energy to pump my own gas. And my dear wife has no idea how to pump gas and has no desire to know, so she shouldn't be forced to.
Reply ReplyThe push for this legislation seems more rooted in the benefit to station owners rather than the general public. If passed, prices won't be any lower at the pump. Besides, not pumping your own gas is pretty great.
Reply ReplyI have found throughout history that self pumping does not lower gas prices. I prefer not to pump my own gas.
Reply ReplyThere is no benefit to me to pump my own fuel. I do not want smelly hands. If they get rid of the Attendants prices will not go down. We need to keep it the way it is. There is no shortage of people who want to work at a gas station. There is also no shortage of greedy station owners.
Reply ReplyI do NOT want to pump my own gas. Keep the jobs for those who are in need of it.
Reply ReplyPeople need jobs and the few pennies per gallon it costs to pay them to pump gas is irrelevant. Most people waste that much on junk food every day. Gas tax in Oregon is about $.56-.58 a gallon. Gas prices fluctuate so much it makes little difference what it costs to give someone a job.

The royals do not earn their money, I guess in a way they do from their subjects they don't rule AND I really don't see them serving helping their people at all because they are subjects
ReplyAs stated previously, its all about the money that is brought in to the coffers.
ReplyWhat is the point? They rule or serve? What is it they provide to people? They get to be in this position and maintain such wealth because they were born into it? I think it's ridiculous.
ReplyThe UK will preserve the royal family to keep the tourists coming. They make a ton of money from tourism.
ReplyThey don't hold any real power anymore, so it's all just a waist of time and space.
