RE: [greenyes] Dana's question

Ah, no....EPA tried did a measurement tool kit and tried to get all states
to count apples with apples and oranges with oranges, but from what I
remember it didn't get very far despite the probably hundreds of thousands
they spent on the project. The tool's still available, but don't think any
state adopted the methodology.

  The question is: Does anyone trust a comparative listing of state
recycling rates, given the definitional differences and calculation scams
prevalent in the field?
