[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Montgomery County and appreciate their efforts to try to make plastics recycling happen. I believe that people (like you!) really wish it would succeed.

I am not alone in the opinion that "plastics recycling" was conceived as a lie, has never been truly viable and the (government subsidized) plastic recycling efforts exist only to give social license to the explosion in plastics manufacturing that has happened in my lifetime. [/quote]

So...you appreciate the efforts but then say it's a lie and not viable, so, do you just trash all your plastics?

I'd love to live without all these disposable plastic containers and packaging. We try to reuse things and buy things in more sustainable packaging. But we can't eliminate it entirely.

I agree that the world needs to ramp back the plastics manufacturing in the first place, but until then -- do we just shrug and say, it's not really viable, and toss away any plastics we happen to have? Do nothing? [/quote]
