Sometimes the quest to "save the environment" does more harm than good, and is often downright stupid.

Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostThe other problem with recycling is commingling. Governments decided to make it as easy as possible for people to recycle, so they could toss all their recyclable material into the same container. The issue with that is, now you need to pay someone to sort it all, which costs too much to do here - thus, stuff gets shipped to China instead. There are also problems with people putting non-recyclable materials in the mix, even unintentionally; e.g., if one piece of Pyrex glass is added to a batch of regular glass being recycled, it apparently ruins the whole batch.
