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

Larry Ewart

As stated previously, its all about the money that is brought in to the coffers.

Mary K

What 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.

Jack L

The UK will preserve the royal family to keep the tourists coming. They make a ton of money from tourism.

Christopher Watson

They don't hold any real power anymore, so it's all just a waist of time and space.

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

Sarah Croom

I 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

Carolyn Morris

Always, I Re Use Water Bottles.

Misty Schrotberger

My mom has a cow if we don't

kaycstamper

I 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.

Susan Mclaughlin

I try whenever I can.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We 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.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although 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.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

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.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

it's quite literally pointless if you do any research

Cindy Calhoun

It'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).

Nancy Sam

I do when its readily available at airports, malls, ect. But at our home, no. I do want that to change though.

Jimmy Lancaster

I do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live

Elaine Reed

There is no recycling program where I live.

Nancy L Marine

My local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.

Would be quicker to pump my own.have one lane for those that need help or who doesn't want to get out and pump their own

Sussie Due

I 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.

💛🖤 RAG 💛🖤

DUH!

David Brouillard

It is easy! I would be faster than the slow, overworked guy who spills gas on my car.

Rick Allen

Yes 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!

Pat Glandon

I'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.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

That'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.

DeBacker Melis

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.

Michael Miller

Gasoline won't affect your paint job. I've used it to clean off tree sap, works great.

k san

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!

Robert Northrup

I 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.

k san

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.

Jessi Johnson Horn

In Culver we usually do since we have 1 gas station and they only have 1 person working the store.

Sussie Due

I love that store. They are so nice there. I pump my own gas there too. Non Eth.

I would rather have someone else do it...too many years of pumping my own gas... plus, it provides jobs

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

I'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.

George Robirts

I 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.

Dianne Price

I'm 81 & don't want to pump mu gas!!

Matt Dittrich

The 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.

Matt Stickler

Convenience and prefer service.

Maureen Drews

I have found throughout history that self pumping does not lower gas prices. I prefer not to pump my own gas.

Kenneth Emmrich

There 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.

Kevin Crabtree

I use the thing called Cash most of the time

Raeanne Spencer-Pike

I do NOT want to pump my own gas. Keep the jobs for those who are in need of it.

Robert Northrup

People 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.

Gabe West

Not when its cold and snowy or rainy

Gabe West

Plus it provides jobs
