A few years back there was an earthquake in India that destroyed a modest sized city. Before Western aid agencies could come up with a plan to help them authorities in India had cleared the site and recycled every useful thing ~ including broken pieces of concrete.

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.

“America is truly a fortunate land ~ we have to think about dealing with trash......”

Yes, we are most fortunate, but I don’t understand what that’s to do with my point, which was addressing the source of policy, not recycling.
