It seems that no clean energy discussion is complete without everybody’s favorite pastime: recycling.
In its simplest definition, recycling is converting waste product into reusable material. Instead of being taken to a landfill to sit and rot the Earth for years to come, it gets singled out and repurposed for another use.
This might seem like a no-brainer. If it meant saving the planet, why wouldn’t you take that extra couple seconds thinking which trash can you throw your garbage into? Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple, which leads to compelling arguments on both sides.
I’ve visited friends’ houses where uttering the term “recycling” doesn’t even dignify a response. It’s just something they could care less about.
On the flip side, I’ve also been at friends’ houses where a question such as “do you guys recycle?” sparks an hour long debate. Not recycling at their place is considered a sin.
Those against recycling don’t really seem to reject the act itself, they just don’t believe the value you get out for the effort that’s put in.
Those for recycling see things a totally different way. It makes them feel empowered in taking a small step towards a cleaner planet, among other things.
