Its sad but true. China had enough taking our garbage and we are in crisis, but hey felt good while it lasted.

I think “the fraud of recycling” is a little dramatic. If what you take away from this is that recycling is a fraud, you’ve fallen off the rocker.
People just need to be more aware of what is and isn’t recyclable. Takes a bit of common sense, a tiny bit of effort, but that’s it.
Who is recycling to feel good about themselves? I can’t imagine throwing some paper in the blue bin or food in the green bin and thinking, “#### yeah, Captain Planet right here, I’m a great person!” ...it’s just where stuff goes...
