Recycle

Recycling is fast going the way of corn ethanol in that the promised results are not forthcoming. Sometimes obvious solutions to problems are not studied thoroughly and end up with unexpected results. By the time the errors are uncovered too much has been invested to go back and such is the case with corn ethanol and it is beginning to look like the same with recycling. Switching away from corn ethanol to cellulosic ethanol may allow plants to get back on track but that is not happening. The main problem with recycling is that China no longer accepts our garbage so the excess is just put into landfills.
