"sharing is caring" thanks for sharing square ;)

When I was young and in the scouts, we used to recycle paper. We would fill a large trailer with newspapers and magazines and earn money to buy camping supplies for the troop. It must have made economic sense or there would have been no money in it. None of this was mandatory, or designed to save the planet... If it makes economic sense it doesn't require coercion.

Platitudes are always irritating and alienating, and defeat the message they are trying to convey.

Exactly.

Yes, it is a religion to some. I recycle metal chips and drop from my shop, because they pay me for them. It makes perfect sense.

But recycling can't be a considered a sacrament if it is done for a base motive like profit.
After all, money is the root of all evil.
