| So, to recycle a can, I first need to wash it out so it can go in the bin. Then the huge recycling truck has to drive and pick up all the bins and deliver them. And then energy is used to sort and turn that aluminum into a raw reusable form. I would love to help the environment. I just would like some pointers to actual data regarding whether the resources used and pollution created in recycling is worth the end result of the can not ending up in a dump. |

| There was a story in the news here recently that a large batch of newspapers collected for recycling was found dumped in a landfill somewhere in Asia. It seems that turning newspaer into new paper isn't worth doing so it probably won't happen too much. |

| Energy is used everywhere, for everything. People started exploring and inventing to make life easyer. recycling is good because all that trash dosnt get burned up, buried or tossed in the river. less polution, but recycling causes other types of polutions, of course less harmfull on the enviroment. Peoples ignorence is costing our children more harm. Remmember that we are just guests on this planet. |
