Is it possible to reduce waste yet recycle less?
If there is anything we have learned in the last 5+ years is it recycling is not going to solve our waste problems. Here in Oakland we were recycling more types of plastic 5 years ago than we are now thanks to the collapse of the recycling market. It was confusing and upsetting.
