Show me the cost benefit - all costs in - that recycling works. Yes, aluminum. Paper, ok. Nothing else
Recycling saves one-quarter of 1 percent of landfill space. It’s an economic boon for city managers because they get govt grants to implement the recycling program as long as they pretend the program is saving the earth. My husband is still trying to get me to adhere to the ritual of separating our trash but it’s hopeless. I make an obligatory effort to avoid a lecture but otherwise I refuse to play the game.
