Enhancing Recycling Programs for Older Adults

Very Easy Application Apply Concepts

In a recent survey conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), participants were asked about their attitudes towards recycling. The results indicated a strong preference for recycling among younger adults, with 85% indicating they recycle regularly. In contrast, among older adults, only 55% reported the same. The survey aimed to gather perspectives to enhance recycling programs nationwide.

Based on the information above, if the EPA wants to implement programs that are appealing to older adults, which of the following approaches would likely be the most effective?

Launching a campaign highlighting the benefits of recycling for future generations.

Providing incentives such as discounts on utility bills for those who recycle.

Conducting further surveys to understand specific barriers to recycling faced by older adults.

Implementing programs that focus solely on the collection of recyclable materials.

Sending out reminders to older adults to recycle, without any specific incentives.
