Their manufacturing should be outlawed. That goes for plastic rings around canned drinks as well. Lot of interesting stuff in this article, but I do have a problem, with the author comparing her life to that of an african villager. It just doesn't resonate. We can't be so insane with collective recycling guilt, that we fail to appreciate how far we've come in this area and if we'd like to go further, here are a few suggestions that can really have an impact: Stop getting anything that comes in plastic. Invest in your own canvas tote bags and haul them with you to the grocery store. Eat less, consume less, and for God's sake buy a bicycle built for two, and get rid of your humiliating obesity! The greenhouse gasses released by the obese population of this country totals somewhere in the billions of tons. So if you want recycling guilt, just know that your fat self is responsible for the rising ocean level. and that's when your on LAND! But be gentle with yourself, and do it slowly and under the care of a Doctor. Hopefully a Doctor whose office has longer lasting bulbs. Fortnoy First,

If people think recycling is difficult or bothersome here in the USA, they don't know how is they've got it. In Toyko, it's common for people to recycle into 1 different categories (and, ultimately, bins). In some towns, like in Kamikatsucho, they separate into 34 different categories! And we complain about 3. Sheesh. This reminds me of the recycling requirements in places like Tokyo.
