I remember hearing a lot about recycling back in the early 90's and thinking, "Wouldn't that be impractical and expensive?"

Cause too many types, colors, having to clean out food containers etc. I think like 90% of stuff sent for recycle ends up in landfills. Even if they did all that, it would create as much pollution as it stopped.

Of course it might just be companies trying to make themselves look like they are trying to avoid pollution when they push recycle.
