Sara GreenbergThis was an enlightening read, thanks for posting! Question for everyone: is "recycling" just a panacea to make us feel like we are doing something, when we should be moving to a less consumeristic, less disposeable culture?

Great quote from the article: Most recycling sends material downwards on the 'food chain'. Once the material is recycled, it's of a lower quality than it started and is therefore less useful.
