The Environment / Recycling is bad for the environment
« on: 19/04/2006 21:48:44 »
Not so long ago there was a push to use biological products like papers and such for packaging. Then recycling came along and everything was put into plastic blister packs and cheap plastic containers. All of the people that previously only bought items packaged in biodegradeable packages didn't think twice. What harm can there be in simply remolding the container.
Well how much of the container actually makes it to the next one and how much gets pumped into the atmosphere when cooked.
Recycling has been bad for the environment because people now use plastics with disregard because they assume that the process is efficient. It's not my thing so tell me if I'm wrong. How efficient is the process. Should we go back to using paper. Then use the by products as fertilizers for soils in reforesting areas.
Enjoy diversity.
