Here's a sticker for your can,
"If I have to recycle the terrorists win!"

Man, talk about choosing you battles...Throw your cans, bottles, paper and cardboard in one can, your trash in the other, and if you like to garden you can make a nice bit of compost with kitchen scraps.
I think you are spending far too much energy on this issue...but Onward! if you choose.

The problem with recycling is bigger than just recycling. It's the entire evironmentalist movement indoctrinating our children, conditioning them to believe that the earth is dying and she's crying out in pain because we're hurting her. They get these kids so worked up that they cry when you throw away paper.

My daughter's 3rd grade standardized test had a question, "What's the best way to save the world?" One of the answers: recycling. Really? Talk about a subjective question! (We taught our daughter that the best way to save the world is to spread the Gospel.)

There are reasonable things we can do to "Keep America Beautiful". Don't litter ... someone has to pick it up. Don't waste paper ... paper costs money. Plant trees ... because they provide oxygen and shade. But there is NOTHING reasonable about the environmentalist movement.

I have a book, it's a little old, but EVERYONE with children should read it. It's called, "Facts, not Fear" and it's put out by the Alabama Family Alliance (I got my copy from the Claremont Institute). I bought five books for my kids school because of some of the garbage they were teaching my girls. This book helps parents teach the TRUTH, not the fiction about the environment.

God called us to be stewards of the earth. But we have dominion over the earth. The earth supplies our needs and therefore we must be responsible, but we shouldn't be stupid. The Left has totally won on this issue. It's quite sad, because 90% of what they have sold you -- and your children -- is a lie. The reason? Because you'll agree to just about anything "to save the environment". And if you don't, your children will, because they are being brainwashed.
