Someone made an off-comment on another post about recycling Pamphlets vice throwing them away, which triggered another minor explosion in my fragile brain. I was kind of curious as to how people feel about recycling. If you weren't aware, there is actually a lot of controversy about many different types of recycling. While it is claimed recycling products such as paper for example causes less energy to produce usable paper, the overall process may end up using more energy then the landfill process (Trucks to pickup, sorting facilities, chemicals to remove dyes, more trucks between these places, etc.) Though it seems widely agreed recycling Aluminum is worth while, paper and other products seem like they may be a waste of time or even worse, detrimental to recycle. Anyone else done any reasearch on this, I've only dabbled in it a little bit, but what I found kinda made me sad. I hope that it really is a useful process and we aren't just doing it so that we can feel like we're doing something for the environment when we really aren't.
