is it really worth it?
of the 7 recycling classifications for plastic materials, 2 of them are deemed usable. anything else is just burned unsafely as fuel (making some serious pollution)
oh and the 2 types of plastic that do get recycled are made into plastic bags. just what the environment needs though right?
to recycle newspaper, they use toxic chemicals to get rid of the ink on the paper. where do those chemicals go? recycling also adds like 20% on to the cost of picking up and getting rid of garbage.
recycling trucks also don't run on wheatgrass
