@Mikeanglo Fuck yeah, i bet we both watch Penn and Teller's Bullshit!

[BrothaBill]

@Mikeanglo Look at the next bottle you drink dumbass. It says 5 cents. Thousands of homeless people feed themselves by cashing in plastic bottles and aluminum cans.

[Mikeanglo]

@BrothaBill There's actual money in recycling aluminum. There is no money in recycling paper or plastic...

If there ever is; Then you will see street people picking up paper and plastic. But we don't see that because paper is a renewable resource and plastic is cheap to make.

[Thebittercritic]

What happens if we dont recycle?

[BrothaBill]

@ZenArcher Fossil fuels and pollutants are emitted in any manufacturing process whether it is recycled materials or virgin materials dummy

[BrothaBill]

@Mikeanglo So let me ask you a question...when all of the aluminum in the world is stripped from the earth, how do you expect to make more aluminum?

[Mikeanglo]

What do they do with all that bleached ink they take out of the paper? Why does it take more energy to recycle?

Recycling is bullsh*t. Brainwashing like this is the only reason people continue to do it. And I love the 'holier than thou' attitude people radiate when they see people who see recycling for what it really is; A waste and a damage to the environment.

[ZenArcher]

@hunthicks How about just not believing because someone says it's so. Did I say cut more trees, Dig more metals,or oil? No. Educate yourself 1st hand a little before assuming everyone else is wrong. The recycling "Industry" actually does more harm. Now please go back to your bottled water they got from MY Tap, =o)

@032125 It took little more then 2 minutes of that video to see the direction it was headed. Recycling is a demand based operation. For example, many kinds of Styrofoam packaging is now recyclable, however in my local area, they don't accept it, they send it to the landfill. Why? No one will buy it so there's no point in sorting it out with the quantities municipalities receive of it. Metals on the other hand, are always saleable - so it's always sorted out. Hardly a reason to not recycle.

[hunthicks]

@032125 Any one with an IQ above 6 knows that not everything we put into our blue bins or bags gets recycled, but what does get recycled is better for the enviroment. We could just all be like my grandparents and just throw the weeks garbage in a 45 gallon drum and burn it every Sunday, I suppose that's the best option.
