What about waste? 3-4 airfilters is very minimal waste to begin with (6 x 8 x 1.5 inch box) and they are made of paper. I don't see why an airfilter cannot be recycled, at least the paper element (which is >80% by volume).

My thinking is this is one step on the road.
By reducing the "one use" mentality many people have for this item not only will it help reduce pollution but it may even get some to think (I live in hope)

My parallel is like increasing fuel efficiency. You get there on small gain at one time.
Is it worth it on one car and will it make an appreciable difference to the overall picture?
Probably not. But if every car had one it certainly would.
