If you are in anyway involved in recycling, be it your household waste; to shares in recycling companies; to giving money to environmental protection charities, this show last night on 4Corners is a must see.
If you didn't see it or don't have it recorded & intend to watch it soon, take an hour out of your day & go to catch up TV & watch it.
This is one of the biggest eye openers I have ever known of. We have all been completely duped.
We all think we are doing the right thing by placing our household recycling in the yellow bin. We also think that commercial industry in general is doing the right thing or else being harassed/dragged into court/fined by EPA, local councils &/or state govt. How wrong we are!
All I can think of now is to cut down even more on what I buy & to aim at zero that I put in my waste & recycle bins so I nolonger contribute to this vulgar waste problem.
I also need to think of how my other purchases add to waste from commercial businesses that is most likely also ending up in illegal dumps.
