The liberal green scam is a medieval indulgence ad plausible as recycling or buying carbon credits.

Its all about feelings not about protecting the environment.

Usually has. All they keep are the aluminum cans. The rest just goes in the same landfill as regular garbage.

When my kids were young we made it a homeschool project to follow trash and recyclables from our curb to its final destination. They were shocked. One is now a lawyer specializing in environmental law.

Visited my wife’s family in CA recently. They have a minimum of three cans. One for green waste (yard clippings, tree trimmings, etc...), one for recycling (plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, metal), and one for trash. The trash can was the smallest of the bunch...

Will this be the straw that breaks the “camels” back.

Notice it is not enough you separate glass and paper, you must remove the little cellophane window on envelopes, you must wash your pizza box, you must wash each of your containers.

And even when you do all that, it ends up in a land fill!

Environmentalist are nothing but control freaks.

The politicians go along with it as it is a revenue generator for their campaign contributor. So it is another wealth distribution scheme.

Politicians make laws that cost citizens money (but does nothing for the environment) and the re-cycle industry sends money back to them in the form of campaign contribution.

I have a GF who lives in CA who actually tears the labels off cans to put them into the paper bin.

Environmentalism, especially as expressed by the average Californian, is nothing more than a phony fashion statement.

The bill is particularly aimed at plastic containers. The goal is to establish a bigger market for plastic recycling in California. It also would help reduce greenhouse gases, the senator says, because “we wouldn’t be burning more oil to make plastic bottles.”

It would increase greenhouse gases. If government makes something more expensive it's a trivial matter to track down where it increases energy consumption and emissions: just follow the money.

Money is nothing more than data, sometimes in paper form but mostly as bits stored on bank computers. More than anything the data represents the amount of energy consumption something uses, and indirectly the amount of pollution it generates. The greenest option almost always has the cheapest total cost. If something green costs you more, you've been had.

We have two trash bins. One is labeled Recycled only and the other Trash only.
The garbage truck picks up both at the same time.....

I dont have a choice but to recycle in my northern California town. They gave me a huge recycling bin and a tiny trash bin. If I dont recycle all of my glass, plasic, and cardboatd, my trash bi overflows and I can’t shut the lid.

California is hooked on social engineering. I hate this communist hell hole so badly. Iam out of here the second I retire.

"Nearly 1,000 recycling centers have closed in the last two years, about 40% of the total, leaving consumers in many communities with no local place to leave their bottles and redeem their nickels."

Problem solved:
