A question about this place:
Is there _any_ recycling facilities in Salt Lake City? The two times I've been there, I've not seen one place to put a soda can. Was it just where I was, or is there some sort of link between Mormon theology and the lack of value upon conservation?

There are lots of people in Salt Lake that recycle, but as for recycling bins at the malls and such, we’re a ways from that. People in Salt Lake are very enviro-conscious. More so than anywhere else I’ve ever lived.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. It’s interesting that it’s the most enviro-conscious place you’ve ever lived…I found the West coast, particularly Vancouver, much more enviro-consious than anyplace I’ve ever been.

I agree that when I’ve visited Seattle and Portland, they are more enviromentally aware than we are in SLC, but I moved from the east coast (FL/GA/NC) where no one typically cares about recycling.
