I'm conservative as they come but I have no problem with recyling.
I wish McDees/BurgerKing would have some type of program that if you brought back their wrappers/bags you would get money back. My rural road is a mess from litterbugs.
My church saves aluminum cans etc and my wife and I was surprised how much we saved and took to the church each week.
Once a landfill has become full, it is covered over with a layer of dirt and becomes property that can be converted to some other use such as a golf course.
We don't need any more golf courses around here. You can't live on "recovered" landfill land. You can't grow anything on it. I don't think that the land could be used for any kind of building.
Yes, the only thing worth recycling is scrap metals, like aluminum cans and steel.
You say you have no problem with recycling... that is OK... just don't confuse your good intentions with GOVERNMENT recycling programs that waste more than they recover by recycling.

Sorry, but you are as liberal as Ted Kennedy.
