Recycling in America

America Recycles Day 2023
The extraction and processing for reuse of material possessions is called recycling.
Recycling is said to be environmentally friendly.
I used to hold that notion dear ...
Of late it has come to my attention that the costs of recycling of metals in particular are prohibitive at any level of efficiency and while I don't hold recyling in the high esteem it once had in my life, I have been requested to recycle from the local jurisdiction and I attempt to do so to honor their request.
My beloved Mother, on the other hand resists recycling tooth and nail. She indicates that she did not do any of it in her earlier life and she really doesn't feel it to be necessary in her life now.
I used to think I had some pro recycling argument that would be compelling, but seeing how I feel — it would be rather hypocritcal from the standpoint of my particular world view. So if you choose to do it, good for you. It's good to believe in these notions of making the world cleaner. If you don't I'm afraid I just can't knock your attitude toward it all.
Happy National Recycling Day
