I'm conservative as they come but I have no problem with recyling.
Sorry, but you are as liberal as Ted Kennedy.
Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not a liberal and I don't belong to the friends of the earth etc etc. . Very far from it. I just have no problem with reclycling.
I know many friends who I KNOW are more conservative than you and they recycle.
Actually I think our parents probably were some of the best recyclers. I'm sure the people alive during WWII were.
I also think that today we just use toooo much plastic. It's hard to get rid of the plastic or reuse it for much. I wish that items were wrapped in paper products because then it can easily decompose (even in your own home with a composting bin).
