California’s Recycled Enviro Strategies Keep Backfiring
SACRAMENTO, California — California’s state recycling agency, CalRecycle, boasts that “California is building a circular economy that can recycle all waste by reducing how much trash we make [and] creating responsible recycling markets.” There’s nothing wrong with recycling, of course. My latest trip to the county landfill reminded me of just how much waste we all produce. We see it in the stacks of delivery boxes that magically accumulate in our garage after just a handful of Amazon deliveries.
