    I’m with you 100% – I recycle as much as possible and even pull recyclable stuff out of the garbage that others have thrown in. Just wanted to comment: It does take _energy_ to turn that old plastic into new, whether generated from oil/gas/coal/nuclear/wind/water. Ideally we could use renewable energy to recycle this stuff but now that’s only a percentage of the case. Let’s be realistic please, recycling isn’t “free”.
