The German guy is full of crap. To say there is room for methodological improvement in recycling is one thing, but to oppose recycling on principle is absolutely absurd. If he's that bothered by the idea that people should think about what happens to their garbage (a weird, extreme position in itself), then fine -- let the sanitation departments separate the waste, as is done in many places.
Recycling is a religious practice to show devotion to the Earth. It is part of the Earth religion or environmentalism or green religion as it is often called. There is nothing wrong politically with having a religion, but merging it with a government is not moral and the political ideology of environmentalism is not the same as the religion. The same is true with Islam. The religion is fine, but not the political ideology. A sharia environmentalism is very bad for freedom and human life.
"the key resource on the planet is human inventiveness" So true. Bravo. The green faith must be separated from government, just as Islam and Christianity. The greens must not be allowed to implement a Pagan Sharia any more than the other faiths. The green faith is much more modern and uses pseudo scientific material, so it is harder to separate. Recycling and global warming are two green faith beliefs.
I also heard the voice of Brendan O'Neil in the audience (or am I imagining that?).

Julie Hill came across as a slightly sour faced petulant teenager, "I don't like what I hear, so there's no point in talking to you".
