Recycling works
The Truth About Recycling, an articled published by The Economist, the conservative business journal from Great Britain, on june 9th, 2007 concluded with “If done right, there is no doubt that recycling saves energy and raw materials, and reduces pollution. . . In the end, says Ms.Krebs, “waste is really a design flaw.”
Like the Climate Change debate, critics had been able to delay implementation of comprehensive recycling by putting out misleading information for years about how recycling doesn’t really work and may even be bad. The height of this ruse may have been when libertarians Penn and Teller took on the cause of trying to discredit recycling efforts in their show Penn & Teller: Bullshit!.
Seem it is time to stop the bullshit and get on with recycling that works.

Penn and Teller are TOOLS.
It kills me that my township just stopped curbside recycling of glass. They tell me it isn’t profitable, but , oh boy!, I can collect my own glass and take it to the dump myself … and I ask, will they then send it to a recycler? or just dump it in with the collected garbage…
On a brighter note, I did just get some worms for my worm box.
Keep up the blogging, will ya?
