Re: 鈥淒espite recycling, trash goes deep,鈥� column, May 16.
It continues to break my heart as I read about our world being awash in plastics. People have forgotten that the most important R is reduce. Then comes re-use, re-purpose. Recycle is the least important R.
Please, let鈥檚 all work to reduce, re-use and re-purpose before we toss something into a blue bin and feel virtuous because we are recycling.
