“.....in order to boost EU-imposed recycling targets. ....”
and should we continue on this road to Leftist Hell it would be to boost the UN-imposed recycling targets.
All this Leftist crap has to be stopped cold.
One article I read on trash and refuse in India said there is basically no garbage or trash in India because someone down the line can always use whatever it is ~ intense grinding poverty insures that. Then, too, there are 70 million people who constitute a relatively formal jot which has as its job the removal and reprocessing of garbage, trash and other waste materials from all sources.
America is truly a fortunate land ~ we have to think about dealing with trash. Others don't.
