The Skinny on Recycling

Myths about recycling are pervasive:  it's a big money-loser; it's no 
better than using raw materials; it's a big lie because items just 
get dumped in landfills; it's a liberal plot to corrupt the morals of 
our nation's youth.  Turns out only this last one is true.  The 
incomparable Umbra Fisk this week focuses her considerable powers on 
the mysteries of recycling:  how it works, who's involved, and where 
your cans and bottles go.  Reduce your ignorance; reuse the 
knowledge; and, yes, recycle!  So says dear Umbra -- only on the 
Grist Magazine website.  (Umbra fans can get even more of her 
distinctive eco-advice on the website for PBS's "Point of View 
Borders: Environment" series, where she's moonlighting and responding 
to queries this month.)
