[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 290018, member: 746"] Recycling b.s. The petroleum industry has created a masterful public relations campaign that has succeeded in convincing a lot of people that most plastic can be recycled - it can't. And that recycling plastic is cost effective - it isn't. All this so people will continue to buy things packaged in plastic justifying the need to produce it. 100% of glass can be recycled, the same is true of aluminum. Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely; 75% of the aluminum ever produced is still in use today. The miniscule percentage of plastic that can be recycled can only be recycled once and emits toxic gas in the process. By 2050 the volume of plastic in the world's oceans will be greater than the volume of sea life. Most bottled water is nothing more than tap-water. Most of the tap-water bottled in the U.S. comes from California, a state that has been suffering from a severe drought for the past 20 years. Yet people continue to purchase bottled water instead of filling a reusable bottle with water from their faucet at home. [/QUOTE]
