I don't 'wholeheartedly' participate, as most plastics mfrs would rather
buy NEW plastic than pay to have the color removed from recyclables. I
DO recycle cardboard, cans, glass, etc, but what is doing the damage to
this planet --PLASTICS!-- is not being addressed.

Plastics (read, BIG OIL) is producing this crap and it is killing this
planet. If yer community has a 100% plastics to energy recycling
burner, go for it, Otherwise, most plastics end up in the ocean.

Did the trailer I posted show how ocean plankton are now consuming
plastic bits that are smaller than they are? PLANKTON!, ferchrysakes!
That means you probably have some plastic "bits" in yer body, right now?

Bah, humbug!!
