I would really like to see someone post an analysis on the psychology of a woman's mind versus a man's concerning issues of conservation, recycling and peak-oil. I know that I'm constantly hauling things out of the trash and holding it up to the spouse as if I've bagged a trophy and exclaiming "Dear, this goes in the recycling!".
So would I. I have no end of trouble explaining to him what is rubbish and what is recyclable. The nearest he gets to recycling is bringing home junk that we'll never use but have to make space to store. Just as soon as you get this psychology analysis written up, please post it here along with any recs about implementation.

In my house, I get in trouble for throughing out plastic stuff "it could get recycled", my wife gets in trouble with me for wasting energy. It seems I'm the one that recognizes the value of energy, and she see's only direct material waste.
