So you see Dr. Porter, we do need to go after the materials you would have us put in landfills and incinerators. You would have us eliminate the opportunity for these jobs and profits. It's exactly the opposite. We need more recycling because it saves cities, counties, and businesses money and it sets the table for economic growth. And here's my main point.
Recycling allows the perfect symmetry between the private and public sectors.
Let me explain this using a baseball analogy. After all, we are in the downtown of a great baseball city. By cities, counties, and citizens in the public sector doing their separations for reuse, recycling, and composting, we set the table for the private sector to add value, add jobs, adds skills, and increase the tax base, and multiplier impacts.
