I love hippies; just don't care for their stupidity.

I still recycle cardboard, among other pointless things, because I still have a mandatory recycling fee if I want garbage service. No wonder people use it as a dumpster if they are forced to pay for it, and the garbage can is smaller than the recycle. At least I don't every other week service like Portland, which also requires composting in addition to recycling and garbage service.

I'm still willing to perfectly sort through my recyclables if someone is willing to pick it up for free. Failing that, then it's pointless to recycle items that are cheaper to just make new. If it costs more to recycle something than make it from scratch, then it takes more energy. Consuming more energy is not environmentally friendly.
