Recycling con

[Greengod]

So it seems if we not wasting energy melting down plastics and polluting our own air we ship off our recycling to other countries to go in their landfills. I don't want to be part of this awfull business. Recycling is not good for the environment http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2304773/The-great-recycling-trick-How-carefully-sorted-waste-dumped-abroad.html

This is the Daily Wail, so treat the info with some care. But, assuming the figures are correct, the UK produces over 330m tonnes of rubbish a year. So your 'problem' is just 3.6% of total.

I don't think that's worth getting to het up about. Especially as they are looking to fix the issue.

wow, really makes you lose the will to live.

Their top three stories are basically

1) tired rehashed Diana speculation

2) Racism is con trick

3) Vic Beckham's tits change size sometimes

Classy!!

You missed, "Heroes star Ali Larter manages to open her car door with freshly painted nails after manicure appointment."

I can't believe the FT missed that one.

'Recycling is not good for the environment'.???

I don't know what brought you to that conclusion. The article you referenced only said that there was evidence of fraud in some elements of the processing chain.

To leap from that to saying 'recycling is not good for the environment' is the same as saying 'eating is not good for you' because there's a couple of dodgy restaurants in Peckham.

It's nonsense.
