Ok, I can understand you saying it's bad if you're only talking about dollars spent.

But it's going to take more than a documentary to convince me that throwing my glass/plastic bottle in a landfill is better for the environment than turning it into another bottle.

I also don't see how they can plant two trees for everyone they cut down. Are they doubling their area every year? And that's not even getting into the fact that these new trees being planted take years to reach the same level as the one cut down, nor the fact that when they do reach this level they are just getting cut down again to make more paper. Or is that justified because they'll plant four more trees to replace those??

edit: I will watch the documentary when I get home from the river as I do not have time now. But I am skeptical about a show called Bull**** convincing me.
