There is a lot of irony in these proposals. Aluminum cans are the most recycled product on the planet, while paper and cardboard containers clog our landfills and will not degrade for millennia (or so we were told). Plastic milk containers likewise are largely now recycled. So is Al Gore now turning his back on recycling in favor of filling our landfills with paper and cardboard containers which are not readily recyclable and are made from living trees???

Paper & cardboard are readily recylable, just not economically.
