I like Penn and Tellers show, but I was pretty disappointed with the recycling show. They had about 3 experts supporting recycling and only one against recycling. And every fact that discredited recycling was told by that one guy and his one study. It's even more disappointing that they believe that tree companies are planting more trees than they are cutting down. Heck, it maybe true, but trees aren't growing as fast as they are cutting them down (20 years to mature typically). Also they focused on the money issue far too much. Recycling isn't about saving money, it's about saving the environment. While the Penn and Teller show is interesting and does raise interesting points, they are pretty biased.
