"Because the value of the paper is less than the effort carry it to the recycle bin."

The perfect opening for me to share one of my pet peeves. Every day the green hypocrites of the powers that be trash my planet both figuratively and literally. Then the Goebbels gang guilts the masses into cleaning up the mess for nada.

My engineer's intuition tells me that lots of little people trucking trash to recycle bins leaves behind a far larger carbon footprint than simply throwing fishwrap out with the rest of the efficiently collected garbage. In the end the powers that be foist yet another "feel good" ruse on the masses to actually worsen the situation.

Yup, you nail it again my friend.
As I said to another esteemed poster on a different thread concerning autos et al?
They'll slowly & incrementally continue removing choiceS until one day there's only one. Theirs.

And those masses STILL won't have figured it out.
