Recycling just got worse....
 
Our city just took a big step back on recycling.
They will no longer accept glass or plastics 3-7 like they have been. It all goes to landfill now because it was not profitable.
Being environmentally concerned is not always about the money involved.
So mad about this.
grrrr!!!!:mad:

Electric cars and solar panels raise plenty of money so there's plenty of excitement there. I guess other less profitable things can be half *** ed.

This was on talk radio when I was driving home. Lots of cities are changing
what they recycle.
Metal and paper are still important to recycle.

According to the E.P.A.’s estimates, virtually all the greenhouse benefits — more than 90 percent —
come from just a few materials: paper, cardboard and metals like the aluminum in soda cans.
