Recycling shouldn't be subsidized. Ok, but no subsidies for other industries. We subsidize landfills and incinerators. In many communities, particularly on the east coast, where suitable space for landfills is scarce, or on the west coast where foreign markets for recyclables are strong, recycling more than pays for itself. Even in the Midwest, avoided landfill costs make recycling a money saver.
Recycling wastes time.
Oh come on. Sitting in traffic wastes time - recycling, by extending landfill life, reducing pollution, and conserving resources gives us a future. The moon's first quarter is on the 5th.
