“I don’t do paper”
If you believe that CO2 is a problem, then there is a good argument that paper and such should be buried in landfills, thereby sequestering the carbon it contains. Of course, in reality recycling is not as much about conserving resources as it is about performing a daily ritual which affirms deep green environmentalism. In short, brainwashing.
Same with “bio degradable” bottles. They don’t degrade b/c they need sunlight to do so.
