While I wish more folks would recycle, what they do is their own business. I definitely believe in climate change because it's happened since the planet was created. Can we stop it? No.

I recycle because the county gave out 96 gallon bins ( where were they 10 years  ago when other places gave out bins for yard waste as well). At first it was a hahah, let’s see how long it took to fill this joker up.  Then I realized it didn’t take long.  Then I realized that they have a truck with an arm to pick this thing up and dump it. They don’t even check inside (aside from the camera I assume is inside the truck to make sure no one tries to recycle another person).  So my recycling bin has been an instrument for me to clear my house of recycleables, and other things I either can’t throw away or a mid week trash dump.  I feel bad. I do.  But I’m sure someone is employed by the company to filter it out. [BLEEP], my neighbor uses it as a  midweek trash collection.
