"...especially in America where we don't even sort our materials."

I've lived an 7 states from coast to coast, north and south, and in all but 2 we sorted our materials. Just because it doesn't happen where you are from doesn't mean it's not happening everywhere else.

I'm curious how much sorting is the norm where you've been. Where I've lived "sorting" recycling has simply been one bin for glass and another for everything else which barely counts.
