The politics of recycling

[rothschild]

We have brown bins for garbage and blue bins for recyclables. If they were actually recycling they'd have us separate glass, plastic, cans and paper. This is part of why I think it's a big load of hooey that governments are trying to "save the planet". It's just another excuse for expanding government power. If the US gov't was serious about this they'd shut down the Pentagon, which is the worst offender on the planet when it comes to environmental degradation. Instead, it's going in the opposite direction.

P. T. Barnum seriously underestimated the number of suckers that are born every minute.
