Re: recycling question
If the producers of product had vested interest in the end use of said
product then we would see a greater capitalist investment and return
structure as far as recycling goes.
It is incredibly difficult for a whole maze of publicly stigmatized
government regulated reasons to go around town picking up junk that might
have tin and glass and what not ...Then sort it in piles in your yard or
parking lot, saving it until the market for each product becomes
profitable.
Substantially refined recyclables like old cars or even clothes tend to be
easier to make a profit off of and thus wrecking yards and Good Will stores
tend to be more self supportable....in the rules of present economic
structure.
Change the rules at the top and the bottom won't be so sore.
