"In honor of 'America Recycles Day'-- [November 15]-- this article talks about the origins of the recycling movement and it's accompanying propaganda, as well as the limits of recycling as a waste disposal solution. Lots of cool graphs and charts. For example, did you know that just across the lake in Ontario, 88% of beer is sold in refillable bottles? Compared to 3% here in the States. Shocked and amazed? Me too. The author suggests replacing reduce, reuse, recycle with reduce, reuse, repair. Although once you've crushed that beer can against your forehead, it's not good for much."- Margaret

CLICK Excerpt:
Lets call recycling what it is- a fraud, a sham, a scam perpetrated by big business on the citizens and municipalities of America. Look who sponsors the National Recycling Coalition: behind America Recycles Day: Coca-Cola, Pepsico, Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Owens-Illinois, International Bottled Water Association, the same people who brought you that other fraud, Keep America Beautiful.
Recycling is simply the transfer of producer responsibility for what they produce to the taxpayer who has to pick it up and take it away.
