This weekend I read a good post on the Deep Green Conversation blog. The article addressed some of the arguments against recycling, namely:
I enjoyed the post. I had never thought much about those three critiques. I have pretty much unquestioningly assumed recycling was a good thing. I thought they did a good job addressing each item.
(1) that the problem they were intended to solve (overflowing, dangerous landfills) never really existed
(2) that the the benefits of recycling are scant and the costs too high
(3) that recycling actually harms the environment

The Deep Green Conversation is a site that plans to be "an interactive site full of content and resources that help you integrate your faith into a deep green lifestyle". The site is new, but the blog is pretty good. I look forward to seeing what else they add to it.
Do you recycle?
