If you can find it, the Penn and Teller Bullsh*t episode on recycling is a classic. It goes into that and a LOT more.
I used to be an avid recycler. I don’t bother any more. Waste of time. (except for aluminum cans, which is why they pay you for them.)
“If you can find it, the Penn and Teller Bullsh*t episode on recycling “
Season 2 Episode 5 Penn and Teller “Recycling is Bullshit.”
Actually a very well documented presentation. The best documentary on the subject.
