Recycling Is Garbage


Recycling Is Garbage

A seminal, thought-provoking article. Caused the most hate-mail ever received at the NYT.

Referenced here:

Sample:
"We're not running out of wood, so why do we worry so much about recycling paper?" asks Jerry Taylor, the director of natural resource studies at the Cato Institute. "Paper is an agricultural product, made from trees grown specifically for paper production. Acting to conserve trees by recycling paper is like acting to conserve cornstalks by cutting back on corn consumption." 

No comments:

"... nothing intellectually compelling or challenging.. bald assertions coupled to superstition... woefully pathetic"
