Short version is:
1. that it is a waste of time and money - except for aluminum cans, which is why they pay you for them.
2. There really is not that much garbage.
3. Land fills in large cities actually become beautiful parks and are even a source of gas that is burned as a source of electric energy.
4. Using recycled paper is more harmful to the environment than creating paper from new plant material, and we grow the trees for it just like we grow corn and wheat.
Etc.
Thanks.
