I know that the extra garbage trucks that come to your house burn a ton of diesel, THEN, the plant that further separates the recyclables leaves a large carbon footprint, THEN, more semis to take those separated materials to other plants with huge carbon footprints, THEN, after the actual recycling process MORE trucks to take those raw materials to factories to make new stuff means more carbon.
In the end, using unrecycled materials is greener than all the carbon it takes to recycle things. 40% 2 Votes
