.... oh brother!!!!  the PET plastic bottle recycling rate has dropped to
10% in the US of A ......YES, that means that 9 out of 10 PET bottles do not
get recycled.......oh, and by the way, in Sweden, where all PET beverage
bottles have a deposit value, the reycling rate is 80%..ie 8 out of 10
bottles DO get recycled.
