Everything else takes more non-renewable energy than is saved. But, recycling lets the politicians and most of the MSM feel good about themselves.

The eco-nazis denounced the study as being produced by incinerator makers – it was not, but they could not do better (they seldom can, and recycling is sacred and beyond question).
