recycling

What do you all think about recycling? Would you go out of your way to recycle or just throw it in the trash?

i recycle aluminum, and copper. And I kinda recycle old ford trucks.

Keep in mind that it is more expensive to recycle metals and paper than it is to mine new stock out of the fforest and earth.

reduce reuse recycle

I'm all for recycling.as populations increace we need more and more raw materials.i fear we are useing it faster than it regenerates.these landfills are not only a danger to the enviroment,they are a eyesore.these landfills are a short term solution to a long term problem.i'm sure you have seen some big landfills.what do we do when they contaminate our groundwater.i think these landfills are a timebomb.what do we do 50-100yrs down the road then find out we didn't construct these landfills right or there was a flaw in the technology.the problem lies in cost effectiveness.but you have heard the expression you can pay me now or you can pay me later.i think that applys to recycling as well

There is doom and gloom no matter what you do. I think that Mother Nature will determine our fate, no matter what steps we take. When the Earth is tired of mankind (and womenkind-just to be pc), the Earth will "shuck us off" like a parasite, and start over.

Recycling is important for two reasons. First, if you eliminate glass, tin, aluminum, paper, and plastic from your trash, you have very little left that has to go to the landfill. It's important to make the landfills last as long as possible because no one wants to build a new one near them. Second, it conserves our natural resources.
