Thought for the Day
Discovering the fraud of recycling is like finding out there's no Santa.
So, I suppose here you'll find the sporadic rantings and ravings of a 13 year old geek trapped in the body of a marginally pretty (growing more marginal as the years go by) 34 (Good God) year old woman... enjoy...

Please elaborate.
Thank you.
Watch Penn and Teller's "Bullshit". You'll see why. But in short, aside from aluminium, it costs more to recycle than to start from scratch, not to mention the environmental hazzards manufacturing recycled goods has on the earth. There's no Easter Bunny either.
But that's just it...one of the reasons to recycle is supposedly because it's "Cost effective", if anything it cost US more to recycle than to not, and environmentally, it's not helping anything. We're not running out of landfill space, as far as creating jobs, sorting garbage is unnecessary busy work, and again, it's not saving anybody and money. Also, no trees are being saved by recycling. Trees are a renewable resource and trees are being grown specifically to make paper...so, there goes that "good reason" too. I'll post some more facts as they come in...

But you missed to whole bit about separate trucks and additional fuel lost...
Seriously, I'd rather the facts not be true. I like recycling as much as the next person...but further investigation suggests that it's yet, another way big business and the government get your coin.
No Tooth Fairy either.
Although, I'm not gonna REALLY argue with the BioChemist....for serious.
...and Hilarity Ensued...
;P
