The evidence indicates that recycling is burying our heads in the sand.

It is reduce>>>>reuse>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>recycle.

As far as I can tell, very little recycling actually ever happened or does happen. It was always just poorer countries willing to look the other way and trash it and claim it was recycled.

I'm guessing you're assuming I meant throw everything into the landfill? That's the problem with assuming, it's almost always dead wrong. And besides, I didn't say that. Perhaps you though I said "throw away"?

I meant we have to quit adding to landfills and reuse materials from discarded objects, or in other words "recycle".
