Like most alphabet agencies, the EPA was corrupted into a political tool used to gain wealth and power by those that control it.

One can be recycled up to 10 times. One not at all.
According to this article, recycled plastic of any type is no longer food grade.

I bet there are many sides to this story.  Many.  
Its unknowable.  

Everything is a mystery, and no opinions should be had.

Maybe the earth couldnt make plastic, so it created us
to make plastic for the earth.  Maybe we serve the earth.

I remember the right wingers in my area pitching about the recycling bins that the trash company started giving us.

And you got a discount if you sorted.

The right wing hated it.

think is best for the country, they’re gonna insist on serious spending cuts. And there’s nothing more radical in Washington than insisting on serious spending cuts. That’s as radical as you can be, as radical as you can get. All right, I’m sure in South Carolina they’re still recycling. I’ll check that with Lindsey Graham, but I’m confident that program’s still working there and working well.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Folks, the libtards are just — I found this out earlier — infuriated with me. Remember the call we got yesterday? I thought it was a great call. It wasn’t even my idea. I mean, I wish I could claim credit, but I can’t. It was a caller who called and said, “Rush, I got a question here. The Japanese, more than anybody else, have done everything they can to save the planet. They gave us the Prius, the electric cars and so forth, and what did Gaia do? Gaia wipes ’em out! You got the tsunami, you got the earthquake, the nuclear problems, and all those cars and the places they were made got swamped. Boy, Gaia has no respect here for the efforts the Japanese have made to save her.”

So we repeated what the guy said, chuckled about it, and the Hollywood Reporter has a story (laughing), first off, how I am terribly insensitive for mocking Diane Sawyer for her discovery of recycling and then quoting the caller talking about Gaia. The libtards… I am told that the Twitter universe is afire with libtards screaming about me for being insensitive and so forth about all the suffering over there. (sigh) We need to get that Diane Sawyer sound bite from yesterday. Folks, look, here’s — remember, now: “Great minds, ideas. Average minds events. Small minds, people.” Uh, we’ve got a country over there that is in some death throes. We’ve got earthquakes which led to tsunamis, which is leading to all kinds of nuclear problems.

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.

One of my axioms is "Harvest the Earth"
Some people take that to mean raid, rape, pillage.
I actually mean it more like a farmer/rancher nurturing, using, maintaining.

So, with that in mind, I can't disagree that you might be right.
Please seat yourself.

Technically it is. But then so is granite.
Depends how long you want to wait.
In 5 billion years, we'll be inside the corona of a red giant. :rofl:
