The Skinny on Recycling

 

Myths about recycling are pervasive: it's a big money-loser; it's no

better than using raw materials; it's a big lie because items just

get dumped in landfills; it's a liberal plot to corrupt the morals of

our nation's youth. Turns out only this last one is true. The

incomparable Umbra Fisk this week focuses her considerable powers on

the mysteries of recycling: how it works, who's involved, and where

your cans and bottles go. Reduce your ignorance; reuse the

knowledge; and, yes, recycle! So says dear Umbra -- only on the

Grist Magazine website. (Umbra fans can get even more of her

distinctive eco-advice on the website for PBS's "Point of View

Borders: Environment" series, where she's moonlighting and responding

to queries this month.)
