I took the bus and T (subway in Boston) to high school and college, as did most kids.  Try parking in Harvard Square, or anywhere in Boston for that matter. 

When I moved out west to continue college in a city that did not have great public transport, I lived on campus for the first year without a car.  After that I bought one for $1000, and insured it for $35/mo (this was in 1993). 

My mom does not even have a DL, and did not have the money to pay my tuition, let alone get me a car for school, yet somehow we made it.  Kids don't NEED cars in high school.  There is always the big yellow bus if you live somewhere there is not public transportation.  I was shocked to see how many high school kids were driving around in new SUVs and sports cars like Mustangs where I used to live in the South.

many municipalities are also mandating it.  On top of that, they have the residents pay for special trash bags at the town hall that are clear, so if they do happen to slip in recyclable items, the trash will not be accepted until it is sorted out. 

Down the highway from me is a company who runs a landfill right on I-95 heading into Bangor, Maine.  They buy land just so they can fill it with refuse from surrounding states.  Big money in trash.  Anyway, the one spot where they were dumping wasn't supposed to be filled to capacity until 2011(I believe) and it is already being capped now and is the tallest (and stinkiest) mass in the area.  Something indeed has to be done.  Far too much waste still going on.
