I don't want to talk too poorly about recycling because it is good and we should do it. But a lot of the 'recycling' we do doesn't actually get recycled and acts like a pacifier that lets us believe we're doing more than we are.

Sadly true.

Seems like a lot of the daily recycling items get put into shipping containers and offloaded to some other countries that don't have the same environmental laws. Just another process that is all smoke and mirrors.
