  Recycling must be near the top of any list of worthwhile things that should be done to lessen the impact that we humans have which are detrimental to the sustainability of life on this, our finite, home planet.
  We tend to throw stuff away, and have done for too long. [even in the good old days of deposits on bottles]
  It is true that all that is done and is encouraged by Governments to be done is absolutely ineffective when viewed in the round. The problem is not that what we do, on our personal small scale, is in the least counter-productive to the common good, but that the over-riding aim of Governments is to make us feel as if we are doing the right thing while they carry on as normal; appeasing and sacrificing to the god of Mammon.
  To combine doing on the small scale with effect on the large scale is to sustain an entirely circular argument.
  
  What MUST change is that instead of being content to 'feel' good about what we do we should insist that real good be done.
  
  While the sole thrust of human development is reduced to bean-counting rather than human-beings counting much progress can be alluded to while much harm is done.
  
  KISS!
  
  Keep It Simple, Stupid!
