Recycling is a Meaningless Scam
Mar 16, 2011
RUSH: We’ll start with Dorothy in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Glad to have you on the program. Hello.
CALLER: Thank you. Rush, I need some more information about something you said — I think it was yesterday —
RUSH: Yes, ma’am?
CALLER: — about recycling. I’m recycling, and I think I’m doing something wonderful, and did you say that it was bogus?
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: What am I missing?
RUSH: It doesn’t save any money. It costs just as much and it doesn’t make one bit of difference when it comes to pollution or not pollution.
CALLER: Is that right?
RUSH: Yeah. If it makes you feel good to do it, that’s fine.
CALLER: (chuckles) But it won’t make me feel good if I don’t think it’s doing any good.
RUSH: What have you been told? What is the good that you believe it’s doing?
CALLER: Well, I think when I recycle my plastic, for instance —
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: — that other items are being made from it rather than new products, new petroleum products. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just gullible.
RUSH: Well, they may in fact be doing that, but it’s not saving any money, it’s not changing the amount of usage of resources or anything — and it’s costing far more money, far more money than it saves. It’s also been learned… Who picks up your recycling bins?
CALLER: My husband still takes it to the recycling.
RUSH: Okay, but there’s somebody there that still has to shepherd it to make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with all the other stuff.
