| [GreenYes] Good Morning America on recycling |

Are people on the list-serve familiar with this story:
This video interview of Stephen
Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics, actually contends that it is
economically and environmentally infeasible to recycle paper (paraphrased).
It made my blood boil, especially since
I am chairing a Mass. Recycles Paper! campaign (www.massrecyclespaper.org)
through MassRecycle based on the economic and environmental benefits of
increasing paper recovery.
Many of us in Mass. are sending letters
of protest. You too may send comments tohttp://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3052660.

Subject: [MassRecycle] Good Morning
America on recycling
There was an alarming piece on Good Morning
America on Wednesday July 18:
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3389378
, in which an interviewee who is discussing which recycling activities
are worthwhile and which are not, states that paper recycling is probably
not worth it, and we should probably just go for paper products made of
virgin pulp. Shall we all respond individually to ABC with our own versions
of why we think paper recycling is valuable? Or do we want to respond as
an organization?
