What really drives people to recycle?

It was a simple question, really. "What does it take to improve the rate of recycling in Minnesota?"
Our Insight Now community really took off on this one. We heard about:
The need to buy recycled products as half the equation.
Making recycling into a community service works.
How laws only bully... and economics need to take centerstage in the recycling cause.
So we thought to throw this one out to sources in MPR's Public Insight Network and see what else we could learn.
