Well there is the real story about recycling. I found out that the things we were recycling (in the Federal gov't) were being sent to the dump. We had federal employees at $100K sorting out recycled paper that was sent to the dump so not only did we pay these high salaries to do the sorting, we also paid more for the "recycling" which was never done. That's recycling for you! But it makes people "feel good".
ps That's your tax dollars at work for another boondoggle.
