I commented on this post, but didn't read the linked blog (?!) Sorry I missed it before. It was very interesting and it's a shame more people aren't telling the truth about this. We NEED to start talking about these things, and they reveal of bigger hidden agenda at work. Another piece of the puzzle on how to destroy America and the brains within.

this is great! it's getting tweeted, even if it's a few years old

Just watched Penn & Teller - Recycling. It only confirmed what I believe anyway. Pure magic.

Yep, and they ultimately want death ~ their own.

It's funny isn't it. More pollution occurs during the manufacturing of a Toyota Prius than occurs in the entire lifetime of a gas guzzler. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news...

I'll check out you tube now. :)

It's recycle week at school....I'm fed up...and it's only Tuesday.

I can be tough, but I am not concrete... :)

ha ha

by need-I meant logically. if you want to buy and store things on paper-go for it!

colleges need to go electronic. we do not need all this paper!

oh, we're really pushing it lol

you have got to watch that Penn and Teller episode. It's on you tube. the crazy things they get people to earnestly recycle-
I'm not against it-there's too dang much to concentrate on being against! but a baseline premise is that recycling most materials tend to use more energy and pollute more in the incineration process than all the other crap do-gooders are worried about. Even those closed incineration plants-the do-gooders are the first to say not in my back yard. just be intellectually honest or think just one tiny step beyond knee jerk emotion of "it's the RIGHT thing to do"

I've seen quite a few of their videos. Very entertaining & enlightening. I may have seen the recycling one but I'll look out for it again.

I chose to live in a centrally-located building with interesting architecture and great amenities. Therefore I also chose the garbage/recycling plan that came with it. Thanks for keeping me honest, LS.

Right. good point. I think because you'll only get a net profit when you sell it by the TON, like we were. In most areas there just isn't that much white paper (most commonly letter- or A4-size paper like you'd use for printing documents, not just any white-colored paper). We received all the paper from a large college campus and supporting offices, so there was always plenty. Also, people would have to sort out ONLY the white paper, and that can be hard even for the most well-meaning person. It's like doing laundry- accidentally leaving a red sock in your whites load ruins the whole lot. I do know that the profit we made was minimal, anyway.
I guess I had forgotten the white paper was only worth $$ in large (and pure) quantities, so never mind. I okay with just separating out my cans.

You always have a choice. You chose it by choosing to live there.

If white paper was worth anything why aren't there white paper recycle locations like there are for aluminum cans?

I did watch the video (see above comment). Actually, when I worked at the recycling center we spent a lot of time sorting out white paper-- because we got paid the most for it (of all paper types, by ton). Price decreases as you go down the chain, white--> colored-->mixed (magazines and paperboard)--> newspaper.
I'd pay for a business to pick up my cans because I don't have the time or desire to take them somewhere, but I still want the aluminum to be reused.

Way to go! I live in an apartment complex so unfortunately I don't have a choice about recycling services.

The aluminum can recycle places will pay YOU...for your cans, why would you pay them? And white paper is a farce... do watch the Penn and Tell B,S. recycle videos... You'll see.

Look for penn and tellers recycle b.s. videos on youtube. Worth watching.

I keep my aluminum cans, they do not go in the recycle bin....I get paid to recycle those. :)

I only utilize the recycle bin so I don't use as many trash bags.

I would expect nothing less from you NM..... and I applaud this great effort.... Lol !! and fracking, yes, yes, yes !!!

I live outside the US. here's my recycling. two weeks went by and I noticed the garbage collectors hanging out at my place longer than what seemed reasonable. they were pawing through the trash for aluminum. economics I get. from that day on, we separated out the aluminum so that the the worker who was interested in "recycling" wouldn't have to work so hard. I am into community
