In West Virginia, an official of Kanawha County, which includes Charleston, the state capital, has called on residents to stockpile their own plastic and metals, which the county mostly stopped taking on Friday. In eastern Pennsylvania, the small town of Frackville recently suspended its recycling program when it became cheaper to dump than to recycle. In Montana, a recycler near Yellowstone National Park no longer takes anything but cardboard.
My Response: Although recycling is more time consuming than just mixing garbage, it pays off for the environment in the long run? What will happen to all of the junk no one recycles? Where do these things go? We believe that just because its no longer in our garbage, its not a problem for us. To the contrary it is our problem!
