[greenyes] Penn and Teller take on recycling

["David Wood" <david@no.address>]

Penn and Teller, the irreverent and edgy comedy magicians are taking on
recycling, in the next episode of their documentary TV show "Bullshit!"
on the Showtime network, Thursday 4/29 at 10:00 pm. Eastern/pacific.
Their program claims as its purpose to debunk popular myths and "expose
the truth to an otherwise desperate and gullible public." No doubt the
segment will prove to be a hatchet job on recycling since the producers
were placing heavy reliance on "The Eight Great Myths of Recycling" and
comparably publications from the American Enterprise Institute and
Competitive Enterprise Institute.
 
I was interviewed for the segment, and I know interviews were conducted
with Neil Seldman of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and Chaz
Miller of NSWMA. I don't know who among the vocal critics of recycling
will appear on the program.
 
I have not seen the tape and do not have cable service. If anyone out
there in GreenYes land is a Showtime subscriber, can tune in Thursday
night, and report back, that would be much appreciated. The show will
repeat next week, I think.
