Recycling is a catechism of the new secular religion of the Earth. I don’t do it in my personal life, but understand it in a business setting.
Here in MPLS people Freaked the F out when they learned that the local garbage hauler recycled stuff based on market conditions. When they made money, they recycled. If they were going to lose money, they sent it to the landfill. They went F’ing bonkers.
It’s a new religion. If you want to recycle feel free. Me, not so much.
Those "GREEN POLICE" ads now look like reality tv.
Imagine if it had been a plastic bottle ! ! ! OMG!
I wish they would accept this one: Final cost is a function of total energy use. If a garbage bill doubles after recycling is instituted, if an organically farmed fruit has a higher price, if a battery powered car costs 4 times as much as a comparable car, more energy and resources are being consumed and more damage is being done to Earth than before.
We used to ‘recycle’ when we were kids. Only it wasn’t called recycling then, it was called commonsense because we tired to reuse that which made sense.
Today...............today is different.
I make it a point to throw away everything I can, especially aluminum cans, as I like to think every time I throw a can in the trash a bedbug bites a Liberal.
Yea, I also have a problem with sorting out the recyclables.
I feel like an idiot doing it knowing that my work is just putting money into somebody elses pocket.
