I think the explanation is easier than that:

- Reduce and reuse are individual efforts that collectively mean a lot at scale.

- Recycling is something that we pay the city to do and then we don't have to think about it. Out of sight, out of mind, we've barely had to change our behavior.

But it turns out that when we abdicate individual responsibility to government and elected officials, we learn that most aren't recycling and never were. Oops.
