I basically agree with that. I do my best to reduce my plastic consumption, but when it comes to recycling, I'm not that committed where plastics are concerned. I'm ok with letting them get put into landfills, as that carbon represents carbon not going into the air. That's what would happen if we used plastics as fuel via TPD or direct incineration.
