recycle that mean you're poor

Some of my friend said that poor people only recycle water bottles and lots of other stuff,too. And people who is "normal" or rich don't recycle. They didn't tell me the reason but I think that the "normal" and rich people don't want to recycle is because they don't want to ruined their reputation and they don't want to make people think that they are poor?

You have some strange friends. Poor people don't buy water in bottles; they get it from the tap. And even people who are well-off recycle,

Rich people buy good quality stuff and they pass it down so it gets used for generations. In England it is an insult to say someone buys their own silver; normal people inherit their silver. 

Poor people buy cheap crap because they know it's going to get broken. Then they break it, because it's only crap. Then they buy more crap because they have to have it. 

Rich people are as famous for their petty frugalities as poor people are for their petty extravagances.
