So true but the recycle companies have a different story. The long and short of recycle is a lame attempt at appeasement to population concerns about the environment and a fill their pockets with government subsidies and tax breaks for the recyclers and appease the government by putting a large portion of immigrants to work (and there's another government handout to the company). The recycle number that Alberta Recycling boasts in a wonderful 88%, yes 88%. The actual number is 9% and most plastics that are recycled deteriorate in the process enough that they can't be recycled again and are discarded. The dirty truth of recycling is mountains of garbage plastics in Canada are being shipped overseas because we don't have room for them anymore, and short of defacing our unpopulated wilderness (which the public wouldn't stand for anyway), we have a closed eyes easy alternative as Malaysia and the Philippines are happy to get paid to take it. They have lots of room for it too There's a whole great big ocean out there and the return business is great after it washes back up on Vancouver's shores.
Unfortunately, climate change is not the only thing killing the earth.
Hmmmm.... I must be in a negative mood today...Wonder if Mercury is in retrograde...
