Listening to an economist talk about how recycling has always been a religious ritual. 💁♂️✅ #EconTalk 😂
The things that we “recycle” are in fact by any definition garbage, and it costs more in resources and energy to turn it into anything useful than just throwing away. The only gain is moral superiority.
If “recycling” had any real worth, then we would be paid for the goods that we leave on the curb. Truth is, most all of the so-called recycled goods also end up in a landfill because there is no profit in it.
