Urgent Need for Sociology Studies on Recycling in USA

There is an urgent need for a wide array of sociological and social psychology studies relating to participation in recycling of plastic goods and other items that might otherwise have been tossed into the trash.

I am very hopeful that various non-profit foundations in the United States will generously help to fund social science research that seeks to identify:

---which subcultures or subpopulations of Americans are the least likely to participate in recycling at present.

---which residents of the United States are situated the farthest geographically from any public recyclables drop-off facility or public recyclables bin into which those private citizens could place recyclable items from their own household.

---which age groups are currently the least likely to participate in recycling, and what might explain the low level of participation by those age groups.

---which industries of the United States are currently participating in recycling at a very minimal rate, and what might explain that very low level of participation in recycling by most or many businesses in each of those cited industries.

---which cities or counties or states or geographical regions of the USA currently have the lowest levels of participation in recycling of recyclable items such as plastic items, aluminum products, glass items, paper products, etc.

---which types of proposed possible incentives from the government, including financial incentives, might spark an increase in the percentage of all businesses and of all private citizens in the USA who or that participate in recycling on a year-round basis.
