They said that the energy and manpower used to separate good from bad recyclables was a huge waste of "resources'.
They pay people good money to accomplish... well, nothing of value.
Certainly not for the planet anyway.
The only thing that was of marginal benefit is recycling aluminum.
Here in Seattle, they are going on and on about washing out and cleaning recyclables, before recycling.
I wonder just how much that *actually* costs.
With the water usage, the soap usage, plus the time and effort, it has to be a complete LOSS.
All so that liberals can feel warm and fuzzy about "saving" mother earth.
